CorpsAfrica will provide young adults across Africa the opportunity to serve as “Peace Corps Volunteers” in their own countries and help drive solutions to poverty at the community level (like “AmeriCorps” for African countries). We will recruit men and women to move to high-poverty communities and initiate projects that fulfill key needs and whose impact and success can be carefully measured and monitored. CorpsAfrica is starting a three-year pilot phase to focus on creating and perfecting the organization’s model in Morocco and two sub-Saharan countries, before scaling up to the rest of Africa.
