Last Chance to Apply: CorpsAfrica Volunteer Program in South Africa Deadline Extended to 31 August 2024
Recognising the challenges facing young graduates, CorpsAfrica has provided an extension until August 31st for applicants to apply to its South Africa 2024/25 Volunteer program. This provides more time for aspiring volunteers to apply and make a positive impact in rural communities.
With continued support from Mastercard Foundation and other funders, CorpsAfrica is set to induct its inaugural group of volunteers in South Africa beginning in November 2024.
Since its inception, CorpsAfrica has established a presence in 10 countries, including Morocco, Senegal, Malawi, and Rwanda. The organisation has trained and deployed over 900 volunteers who have successfully implemented more than 800 community-driven projects, impacting the lives of thousands of people.
“Our entry into South Africa is a testament to the incredible growth and impact CorpsAfrica has achieved over the years,” shares Kelo Kubu, Country Director for South Africa. “We are excited to bring this transformative program to South Africa, where we believe our volunteers will make a meaningful difference in the lives of communities. Volunteers can look forward to a unique and enriching experience, one that will not only develop their professional and personal skills but also create lasting, positive change.”
Volunteers serve for one year and facilitate small-scale, high-impact projects identified by local community members to fulfill key needs. As part of its expansion, CorpsAfrica is currently inviting passionate and driven individuals to apply for its 2025 cohort in South Africa.
Selected Volunteers will undergo comprehensive training before being deployed to rural and underserved communities across the country. They will work on a variety of projects tailored to the needs of these communities, focusing on areas such as education, health, agriculture, and economic development.
“Volunteering with CorpsAfrica offers a unique opportunity to make a tangible difference while gaining invaluable experience and insights,” adds Kubu.
“We are looking for individuals who are committed to service, eager to learn, and ready to be part of a movement that is driving change from within Africa.”
Applications for the next cohort will close on August 31, 2024. Interested candidates can apply through the CorpsAfrica website at www.corpsafrica.org/where-we-
