Monday, January 16th, 2012 our very first group of African volunteers began their orientation with introductions and many eager questions. Hailing from several different regions of Tanzania, they gathered with a common goal: finding ways to help the community and gain experience in order to help even more people in the future. We can’t wait to see what ideas they share as they continue their AVC year.
Mission:
Africa Volunteer Corps’ mission is to nurture a generation of African leaders dedicated to strengthening homegrown development by providing opportunities for practical training and job placement.
The overarching goal of Africa Volunteer Corps is to harness the power of motivated, educated Africans and put it to use for locally-initiated development projects in Africa, opening doors for Africans to leverage their own resources and strengthening grassroots development efforts.
Creating a springboard for leaders and bolstering ground-up social change efforts, we position Africans to drive development on their own continent.
