How It Works
- Aspiring volunteers who fulfill all requirements should fill out the online application form and upload their CV.
- Organizations wishing to deploy youth volunteers are required to fill out the online request form . Alternatively, organizations can send their request to youth@africa-union.org
- Screening: Volunteer Applications and Volunteer Requests would now be screened for completeness through a vigorous and transparent process. Candidates whose application was not convincing, would be eliminated and notified. Volunteers are permitted to reapply a second time.
- Matching: Applications of nominated volunteer candidates are matched with available vacancies according to the criteria specified by the requesting organization.
- Selection: The AU-YVC would send multiple CVs (4- of matched volunteers to requesting organization to make final selection.
- Volunteer Training: Prior to their deployment volunteers would be trained for a period of 2 to 3 weeks by the AU-YVC unit to enhance volunteers professional, interpersonal and life skills. The training aims to prepare volunteers for their country of deployment and/or enhance their capacity.
- Deployment: selected volunteers would now sign a tri-partite agreement with their host organization and the AUC which shall guide the terms of deployment.
- Progress Assessment: volunteers are expected to provide regular reports on their activities and address challenges to the AU-YVC unit.

]This year is my AU YVC year no doubt!

I applied last year, I wasn't selected but was given a feedback from them of how my application was 90% okay except the little omission which made my application not to be selected, this is one area Nigerian recruiters need to upgrade to, giving recruitment feedback. It would help candidates a lot.

Now with the feedback I got last year, my application this year is 100% on point by Gods grace.

For those who applied last year, you'd agree that the application process is a little different, but easier and if you'd find it quite of a free low kind of thing when you import last years' application insights.

AU YVC program is a very transparent process, and I commend them a lot for their professionalism over the years I have followed them.

I can't wait for August 15th 2017 for that congratulatory success mail.

Let the count down begin! 24 days to go




Bros plz can u give us more hint on this info.... What type of recommendation letter did u use?

Hi, can I have your number to ask for your assistance as the 31st deadline is fast approaching and I have not started applying. I like to see your sample letters including CV, cover letter and others. Kindly text me your number here 08063925717. Thanks a mil

Finally submitted my application. This has to be my time to shine. Just when I thought I wasn't going to waste my time applying. I came across a friend who was among last batch and he helped me modified my documents(Recommendation letter, Motivation letter and CV). Now am already preparing for pre-deployment training. Can't wait for this once in a life time experience. Africa, here I come.

charlesucheh:
I've applied already! But I must let you all know that the application itself is like writing an exam with a computer based knowledge. So if you're not the smart ICT type, you just might experience difficulties trying to apply. It should be an exciting and non-profit making experience. They promise to make life comfortable as you discharge a community development service to your area of deployment which is outside your country of origin, monthly stipends will be paid but it's just to make you feel comfortable and not ostentatious. Like it implies, it's a volunteering scheme, and only young Africans with strong pan-African motives can well fit in. Which you all best of lucks.

Hello,

Thanks for your post. I need your help. I am trying to write my application especially motivation letter and I want to get it right. Can you guide me. Can you show me a sample of your motivation letter and cover letter and perhaps CV. Thanks

Thanks for your response,i am not a fresh ond graduate bro.I had a lot of experience in my line of career but just the volunteer aspect. Thanks

What about any group in your church or mosque? Are you (actively)part of any group in your denomination that you've really been faithful and diligent for over a year or so that your pastor or head of department can write a letter of recommendation for? If yes, I strongly 'believe' you can apply. My believe though.

Will these be accepted? Or how serious are you.

Churches and mosques are technically and according to law, non-profit organizations, so one being an active contributor to her cause makes one a volunteer. So, I guess I'm serious then. But again, this is my belief.

Nice one, thanks for your thought. I am actively in church activities. I guess I will use that. Pls another question ;must someone has international passport before applying. Thanks for your time bro.

Your pastor or unit head would have to write a very convincing recommendation letter to back it up.
Part of the requirements says; you scanning your details page of your int. passport or your national id card. So, if you've got your national id card, it would still work.

bolubej:


Pls feel free to PM me now. I will be available to answer your questions but i would suggest we have thequestions here so that others too can benefit

pls can I get recommendation letter from church or can an industrial training attachment serves as volunteer experience. Thanks

Miss Bolubej, I want to ask some pertinent questions from you and they are as follows:
(1) Is accommodation been provided by the host organisation that one will be deployed to or by the African Union Commission?
(2) Were you paid the settling-in allowance during the period of pre-deployment training or when one start the volunteering itself?
(3) Is the host organisation permitted to retain any volunteers deployed to their organisation after the 12 months of the programme?
(4) The pre-deployment training, where is it going to take place? Outside Nigeria or within for Nigerian applicants?
Love the way u have been answering those questions directed to u, pls help do justice to these questions of mine.

Please house,when is the expiration date I want to apply ,please urgent response. Thanks.

Hello house!

This is for AUYVC Alumni.:

Is there any harm in having 2 recommendation letters? Since the advert says at least one volunteer experience.

Also, since the NIMC SLIP containing NIN does not include date of birth, can I just attach my birth certificate along with the NIMC slip?

Thank you!

bolubej:

Seen and acknowledged

Can I use a certificate signed and stamped issued to me by my PPA NYSC as astounding Corper praising me as the recommendations letter? thanks

Well, I just saw the content of the file, and I must say that IF IT'S CREDIBLE AND ANYTHING TO GO BY, then I'm really disappointed in the AUC. An answer to a question of whether or not successful applicants would be deployed at the start of the new year says that CVs of trained volunteers are matched with available vacancies within the African Union’s Organs and partner organisations. Volunteers are encouraged to continue with their normal lives until they have received official communication from the AUYVC

Well, I think that's really crappy. Why should they ever call for application when there aren't vacancies?? Why not make deployments in batches?? What do they take us youths for? Youth engagement and participation my foot! And I thought they had a different touch and approach to things, better than my beloved Nigeria, it's crystal now that they don't! They too lack organisation, desultoriness eats into their core too. I really am disappointed. They aren't ready for that socioeconomic renaissance they claim to aim to achieve with this scheme. I fear for Africa.

After reading the FAQs last night, I was also so discouraged to find out NYSC is more organized that AUYVC. At least NYSC guarantees you a PPA and even accomodation to some extent.

To think that all my hope was on this one. My enthusiasm took a nose dive last night and I no longer look forward to the excitement of participating in the programme.
