This is the Corps’ World

Since 1990, CDC has assisted more than 2,200 small- to medium-sized enterprises in 23 nations. From Angola to Uzbekistan, in Central Asia and Central America, CDC volunteers and staff share their business training and experience with citizens in emerging economies. In return, volunteers build knowledge of new markets and gain the invaluable perspective of life in another culture, while helping to build freedom and prosperity.
