NYSC is a phase every Nigerian graduate must undergo before proceeding to the Labour Market. Especially, graduates who are less than 30 years. As a matter of fact, participation in the National Youth Service Scheme is compulsory for any Nigerian graduate who wishes to work in Nigeria. However, this article will focus on the best CDS groups to join as a corp member.

The community development service (CDS) is one of the cardinal programmes of NYSC. The other three are; Orientation programme, Place of primary assignment and passing out parade.

Sometimes, the CDS you belong to during your service year can develop you professionally. This is why we have come up with this list of 7 best CDS group to join as a corp member.

Top 7 Best CDS Groups To Join As A Corp Member

NDLEA is one of the best CDS groups to join as a corp member. Outside of the fact that you will learn more from the group, you will definitely have the opportunity to sensitize people on the negative effect of hard drugs.

Members of this CDS always campaign against hard drugs. Sometimes, they go to school and other public places for the campaign against hard drugs and drugs abuse.

#2. EFCC

EFCC is also a top-notch CDS group to belong during your NYSC. Consider yourself very lucky if you are in this CDS. Corp members in this group always campaign against corruption.

#3. Red Cross

This is also among the best CDS groups to join as a corp member. However, corp members with medical background are often posted to this group since it is health related.

They constantly engage in health outreach, administration of first aid and more importantly setting up clinics for the NYSC secretariat.

#4. Road Safety Group

Road safety group is another great CDS group to belong during NYSC. They help in traffic control, administer first aid to accident victims, create traffic awareness in schools and more importantly, establishing road safety clubs in schools.

#5. HIV/AIDS

HIV/AIDS is obviously one of the best CDS groups to join as a corp member. They constantly sensitize the general public on HIV and other STDs. Also, they establish Peer Education Trainers (PET) in schools.

Waste of time, i never attended for once.
You are one of the NYSC Corp members who never understood what CDS is really about. Read other peoples comment and see what you missed. You failed to give of your time and talent, you failed to learn... CDS is never a waste of time... NEVER. I hope you will not fail to be a gift in your current location and position

Was it possible for any of you to change your CDS group? And what are the pros of the Charity CDS group??
Re: 7 Best CDS Groups To Join As A Corp Member by 24hoursreporter: 6:58am On Sep 09, 2018
princeSammyz:
Where my own Charity? LOL. I will agree with your list alright. Just that these CD groups most time are only effective in capital cities and maybe a few cardinal towns.

You are very correct!

CDS can even be added to your CV as Volunteering work experience, if it's a CDS that's related to your course of study and if they award certificate.

We didn't have the privilege to make our choice then at Ukum LG, Benue state, our LI just scattered us into different cds groups as he was inspired. I got to like my cds group eventually - PET anti HIV AIDS.
