AgriCorps is a new organization and
our first team is finishing their year of service
in Ghana. In August 2015, twenty new
AgriCorps members will arrive in Ghana to
start our second year! We’re planning on
expanding to more countries in Africa and
Latin America over the coming years.
During an AgriCorps member’s year of service
they grow tremendously – both
professionally and personally.
It is impossible to live and
work in the developing
world and build authentic
cross-cultural
relationships
without being changed. Our volunteers
have a wider world-view and life
experience that is critical to work in
globalizing agricultural industry. Upon
their return home AgriCorps members
have tremendous skills to bring to the
workplace. We have members who are
pursuing graduate degrees, careers in
agricultural development and agricultural
business, as well as teaching high school
agriculture! If you want to be a part
of the solution to help feed 9 billion
people by 2050, think about joining
AgriCorps when you graduate! •
