How To Apply For Corps Members To Serve In Your Organization

If you are a company or organization looking to engage the services of National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members, this blog post is tailored for you.

Requesting Corps members to serve in your organization can be a seamless process if you follow the right steps.

In this guide, we will walk you through the procedure to apply for Corps members to join your team and make a positive impact on your organization’s growth.

Step 1: Registration and Suitability

Before making a request, ensure your organization is registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC).

NYSC places a high value on the welfare of their Corps members, so it’s essential that your organization provides suitable job roles for graduates.

Avoid requesting Corps members for menial tasks such as dishwashing, farming, or other undignified jobs.

Step 2: Accommodation and Environment

Be prepared to provide comfortable and hygienic accommodation for the Corps members. A secure and safe environment is essential for their well-being during their service year.

Step 3: Determine the Type of Request

There are two types of requests you can make to the NYSC:

1. Special Request: If you have a specific Corps member in mind (stating the name and state code), you can make a special request to have them posted to your organization.
2. Ordinary Request: If you don’t have a specific Corps member in mind, you can request NYSC to post suitable Corps members to your organization.

Step 4: Writing the Request Letter

When writing the request letter, address it to the NYSC state coordinator in the relevant state. Clearly state your intention and the number of Corps members you require.

If you are making an ordinary request, ensure the discipline aligns with the needs of your organization.
