About CorpsAfricaFounded in 2011, CorpsAfrica provides the opportunity for Africans to serve as volunteers in their own countries, along the lines of the Peace Corps model.

CorpsAfrica aims to promote a culture of public service in Africa by giving participants the opportunity to apply their education, skills, and energy toward helping their fellow citizens overcome extreme poverty.CorpsAfrica has steadily expanded operations from Morocco to Senegal, Malawi, Rwanda, Ghana, Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia, and The Gambia over the last ten years. Having successfully demonstrated the power and effectiveness of the model, CorpsAfrica is expanding its impact within and to additional countries in Africa.
