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.

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.

]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

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.

Done sir.

honTim:
please, I need your help. I would appreciate it if you can send your phone number to omorodion547@gmail.com or better still, send me a mail. Thanks in anticipation.

otele: No disrespect to Islam, but my fellow Nigerians, pls explain to me, why, of all the problems in Nigeria, the killings, unemployment, hunger, poverty bombings etc, the only miracle our nairaland Muslims and nairaland moderators could identify to be celebrated on front page is a piece of meat?

Is there any religious or spiritual or even significantly materialistic importance of meat with an inscription?

Because methinks that meat won't stop the killings, create jobs, or reduce poverty. It will reduce hunger for one hungry steak or suya lover. Nothing more.

Someone explain.

This is not meant to insult any religion. Just a question for more knowledge.
