Volunteer

We leverage the expertise of U.S. farmers, researchers, and agribusiness professionals as volunteers to provide technical assistance to aspiring entrepreneurs across the globe.

As an implementer of USAID’s Farmer-to-Farmer program, CNFA is committed to generating sustained economic growth abroad and promoting awareness of the impacts of international development assistance amongst the American People. Volunteer assignments are two-to-three weeks, supported by CNFA’s highly trained local staff.

We are always interested in speaking with individuals who are thinking of serving as Farmer-to-Farmer volunteers for the first time. If you see a specific assignment that matches your skill set, please refer directly to that solicitation. Otherwise, please submit an inquiry to F2Finfo@cnfa.org and one of our team members will get in touch with you.

"Staff at my farm were unskilled until undergoing intensive training in poultry management with CNFA volunteers, which helped improve production levels from 300 chickens. I now raise about 20,000 chickens."

- Marcel Guita, Owner of Guita Chicken Farm

Our Impact

The CNFA-implemented Farmer-to-Farmer program has been operating in Southern Africa since 2008, focusing on horticulture and legume value chains in Angola, Malawi, and Mozambique. Our volunteers work with agribusinesses, extension agencies, cooperatives, and farmers in many areas, including crop production, post-harvest handling and marketing of seeds, cooperative and association development, business plan development, and financial management.
