CorpsAfrica is a nonprofit organization based in Washington, DC, founded in 2011 by a former Peace Corps Volunteer. It seeks to mobilize emerging African leaders by inviting them to live in high-poverty communities within their own countries for a year and to initiate projects that address local needs, with outcomes that can be measured and evaluated. The organization emphasizes empowering local communities, promoting collaboration with NGOs and development partners, and implementing ongoing monitoring and impact assessment. Its program targets emerging leaders across Africa and mobilizes them to address community challenges. In 2024 the organization launched a program in South Africa, and by 2025 its reach had expanded to ten countries across the continent.
