Joining a Community Development Service (CDS) group during your National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) year is a great way to make a positive impact on your community and develop valuable skills. Here are 7 of the best CDS groups to consider joining as a Corp member:

NDLEA (National Drug Law Enforcement Agency):

This CDS group focuses on sensitizing the public about the negative effects of hard drugs and drug abuse. You’ll have the opportunity to campaign against drug abuse in schools and public places, contributing to the fight against substance abuse.

EFCC (Economic and Financial Crimes Commission)

Corp members in this group campaign against corruption and educate schools and communities on the harmful effects of corruption in society. It provides an excellent opportunity to learn about ethics and integrity.

Red Cross

This group is ideal for corp members with a medical background. They engage in health outreach, provide first aid, and set up clinics for the NYSC secretariat. It’s a rewarding CDS group that allows you to make a difference in healthcare.

Road Safety Group

If you’re interested in traffic management and safety, this CDS group is a good choice. Members help with traffic control, offer first aid to accident victims, and raise awareness about Road Safety in schools. They also establish road safety clubs in schools.

HIV/AIDS

This CDS group focuses on raising awareness about HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). They engage in public sensitization and establish Peer Education Trainers (PET) in schools, contributing to the fight against HIV/AIDS.

NEMA (National Emergency Management Agency)

Members of this group assist in disaster management. Joining NEMA will provide you with valuable knowledge and experience in disaster response, which can be useful throughout your life.

Editorial Group (OBS – Orientation Broadcasting Service)

If you aspire to become a presenter, writer, or work in media, this is the CDS group for you. They handle radio, TV, and publications, and they are responsible for publishing corpers’ monthly magazines and the end-of-service yearbook.

Choosing the right CDS group that aligns with your interests and skills can make your NYSC year more meaningful and fulfilling. Remember to consider your personal interests and career goals when making your selection.
