Alumni Network

CorpsAfrica’s Alumni Network is a vibrant community dedicated to supporting alumni as they embark on the next chapter of their lives. We strive to empower our alumni through various projects, workshops, events, and initiatives that foster personal and professional growth. By cultivating a strong sense of loyalty to the CorpsAfrica family, our successful alumni become catalysts for positive change within our organization and communities.

Each CorpsAfrica office maintains a chapter of alumni who organize regular meet-ups, trainings, and continued support for active Volunteers and communities. The Alumni Association runs two key organization-wide programs: the Matching Scholarship Program and the Alumni Entrepreneurship Incubator. Both programs contribute support necessary to launch alumni into their careers.

Entrepreneurship Incubator

The Entrepreneurship Incubator, a flagship initiative of the CorpsAfrica Alumni Association, provides fully funded high-level business training and seed funding to CorpsAfrica alumni. Open to all alumni-owned or co-owned job-creating ventures, this program leverages the impact of CorpsAfrica service, creating meaningful jobs and substantial value for communities across Africa.

Matching Scholarship

The Matching Scholarship Program provides additional funding (up to $5,000 USD) to alumni who have secured other financial support to ensure they are able to pursue higher education at recognized colleges and universities around the world. In the first year, the program contributed $19,600 to eight alumni in pursuit of both Masters and Doctoral degrees.

"This experience has instilled in me the belief that I am a strong person who can bring positive change to her community and herself. I am a new person who has developed her self-esteem and communication skills. I am a stronger Moroccan citizen who has proven herself through service and now has a clear vision of what she wants to be and how."

"Community goes beyond building a classroom or painting it. Instead, community development is an investment in mindset. We must rethink how we see our situations to change them. During my service, I worked with my local leaders to improve the community; now, they are doing it by themselves. This is sustainable development."

I believe that volunteering shapes a person's heart, mind and soul completely. The chance to share the humble resources I possessed with the community which I eventually considered my home was an incomparable opportunity. By simply opening your eyes and heart to the culture of a new place, you can have an entirely beneficial, life changing experience.”

Support Our Work

CorpsAfrica addresses two of Africa’s most difficult challenges: creating opportunities for youth and helping rural communities overcome extreme poverty and build resilience. We recruit motivated volunteers to live and work in remote, low-income areas in their own countries. They collaborate with the community to design and implement small-scale projects that address their top priorities and by doing so gain the skills and experience that lay the foundation for personal and professional success.

CorpsAfrica trusts youth and rural communities to help each other.
