Corps Africa Vacancy
Corps Africa
CorpsAfrica Volunteers undergo one month of Pre-Service Training and then serve for ten months in a community chosen for its perceived need, the existence of original partners, and essential infrastructure, location, and other criteria. The Volunteer dedicates his/ her time to living and working with original people to identify an area of concern for the community, co-create, and design solutions to address the concern, apply the solutions with original partners, and examine and evaluate the results. To achieve this, CorpsAfrica Volunteers receive professional training before and during their service, support from CorpsAfrica staff( both nationally and internationally), a modest living allowance, health insurance, and a readjustment allowance upon successful completion of the program. Volunteers are required to submit reports and make presentations regularly.
