The Youth Corps Changemaker Project is a community of influential growth-minded leaders working together to make a difference.
We give you a peek into the development world during your service year and help you learn valuable skills that will put you ahead of other corp members once you complete your service year.
The project offers a unique opportunity to corp members all across Nigeria to be part of a community of Changemakers bringing social impact to their host communities. The program is designed to be a learning experience and a highly rewarding pursuit for selected youth corpers while providing them with a platform to build their leadership capabilities and creating a pathway for them to take action and create change in the community.
In this role, Youth Corps Changemakers will develop skills that are valuable in every sector such as leadership and entrepreneurial skills such as empathy, effective communication, persuasion, presentation, emotional intelligence, collaboration, problem-solving, and the ability to form relationships with various stakeholders. The FAME office is located in Ibadan, and as such, corp members located outside of Oyo State will be expected to work independently for the majority of the project.
This is a personal social responsibility and as such, interested candidates need to ensure that they can set aside time in their schedules to actively dedicate themselves to this project.
Candidates must be currently serving youth corps members in a state in Nigeria. We also accept candidates who have just been mobilized. You must have at least six months left of your NYSC programme in order to be eligible for this role. Essential skills required for this role include:
