CORA relies on dedicated staff members and volunteers who commit time, energy and compassion into fulfilling their duties and reaching out to those in need. Volunteers are the backbone of CORA. They provide the helping hands that allow CORA to build a safe refuge for the underprivileged of Africa.

Volunteers are needed and welcome in all aspects of CORA, whether it be working with children in the orphanage, teaching trades to young mothers, playing soccer with teens, or assisting with minor medical care, there is always room for more willing hands.

CORA caters to clientele that fall into four different groups, and volunteers are needed to contribute to all groups.

• Group 1: Children/Orphans
• Group 2: Teenagers
• Group 3: Young mothers
• Group 4: People with disabilities
