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.

Creating a springboard for leaders and bolstering ground-up social change efforts, we position Africans to drive development on their own continent.
