The Youth Corps Changemaker Program is a network of powerful, growth-oriented leaders who are working together to make a difference.
During your service year, we provide you a glimpse into the developing world and help you learn vital skills that will place you ahead of other corps members once you finish.
The program provides corp members from all around Nigeria with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to join a community of Changemakers who are making a positive difference in their host communities. For selected youth corpers, the program is designed to be a learning experience and a highly fulfilling endeavor, while also providing them with a platform to develop their leadership skills and a pathway to take action and create change in the community.
Youth Corps Changemakers will learn leadership and entrepreneurial skills such as empathy, effective communication, persuasion, presentation, emotional intelligence, cooperation, problem-solving, and the capacity to create relationships with a variety of stakeholders in this role. Because the FAME office is in Ibadan, corp members who are not from Oyo State will be expected to work independently for the majority of the program.
As this is a personal social duty, interested individuals must ensure that they can devote time in their schedules to actively participate in this program.
