As CorpsAfrica Alumni come together for the Alumni Virtual Summit this week, we’re reminded that a year of service is just the beginning. After completing their volunteer service, many CorpsAfrica Alumni go on to launch businesses, build careers at leading organizations, and pursue advanced degrees, including master’s and PhDs.

Through the CorpsAfrica Alumni Network, we continue to invest in their next steps. From entrepreneurship funding and scholarships to career development and professional connections, our programs help Alumni turn their experience into new opportunities.

Hear from Abderrahim Boualy, Alumni Association Manager, about the network that supports CorpsAfrica Volunteers long after their year of service ends.
