Overview of World Corps
Mission:
To mobilize young adults worldwide to become effective business
entrepreneurs, community leaders, and global citizens.
Need:
Throughout the developing world, talented young people migrate to urban
centers for education and economic opportunity.  In virtually all cases,
these young people remain in urban areas to pursue careers, depriving their
home communities of the benefits of their education, technical skills, and
vision.   This "brain drain" represents the loss of the critical human
resource needed to address chronic problems of poverty and environmental
degradation.
The World Corps Solution:
World Corps provides a comprehensive leadership development program for
young adults ages 21-28 in business solutions to local development needs.
After the completion of the training program, World Corp Professionals
(WCPs) will then launch their own businesses (or partner with other
businesses) to supply services to rural communities.  The World Corps
program is distinguished by:
1. An in-depth training experience (one year) combining theoretical learnin=
g
and practical experience;
2. The opportunity to train abroad in a multicultural team; and
3. Strong commitment to sustainable business-based solutions to energy and
communications needs in rural communities in developing countries.
Program Focus: Renewable Energy and the Internet
World Corps will focus on these two complementary areas of work.
Sustainable and affordable energy is critical to individual and community
development.  Access to information resources presents new opportunities fo=
r
economic development, education, health and environmental protection.  The
two can be leveraged together to increase reach and impact.
Activities:
World Corps will:
1. Train WCPs in business administration, marketing, technical and
communications skills;
2. Launch WCPs into community-based businesses proving energy and
communications services;
3. Partner WCPs into existing businesses as energy and communications
specialists; and
4. Replicate the India pilot program in Brazil, Kenya, Mexico, the
Philippines and South Africa starting in 2003, at a pace needed to reach a
large number of men and women.
Pilot:
World Corps will implement a six-month long pilot program in Andhra Pradesh=
,
India starting in November 2001.  The pilot will train 20 WCPs, launch the
first businesses in southern India, and lay the groundwork for training in
the next five countries.
The program will consist of six months of training, focused on application
of ideas and learnings to field work.
Ten Indian World Corps Professionals (WCPs) will be recruited from the
Kuppam region of Chittoor District in Andhra Pradesh.  Two WCPs each will b=
e
recruited from Brazil, Kenya, Mexico, the Philippines, and South Africa.
The focus of the program will be to extend the reach of the Internet in
rural India beyond more populous and prosperous towns to poorer, remote
villages.  Starting in Andhra Pradesh state, World Corps will create jobs
and be cost-effective, sustainable over the long term, and easily
replicable.
