Job Description
CorpsAfrica is a US-based nonprofit organization founded in 2011 by former United States Peace Corps Volunteer Liz Fanning with the aim of recruiting and training college-educated young African men and women to serve in under-resourced communities in their own countries or other African countries as “Volunteers”, to initiate and facilitate small-scale, high-impact community-led development while promoting the professional and personal development of young men and women through expert training and a transformative Volunteer experience, creating work opportunities and inspire a strong pan-African community.
CorpsAfrica/Ethiopia is seeking passionate and driven young Ethiopian University graduates to join Cohort 3 as Volunteers. This is a unique opportunity to serve in rural communities, facilitating small-scale, high-impact, community-led development initiatives. Become a changemaker and make a lasting impact!
CorpsAfrica Volunteers undergo one month of Pre-Service Training and then serve for ten months in a community chosen for its perceived need, existence of local partners and essential infrastructure, location, and other criteria. The Volunteer dedicates his/her time to living and working with local people to identify an area of concern for the community, co-create and design solutions to address the concern, implement the solutions with local partners, and monitor 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.
