This is a community service award scheme sponsored by Global Shapers- Abuja Hub and Selfless 4Africa Inc. It will be focused on developing young people in our communities and exposing the youth to community service initiatives.
The participating tertiary institutions students are expected to form a team of 3 to 5 students, which must have a team name and slogan. The scheme will encourage the youth of Nigeria to believe in themselves, cultivate the spirit of volunteerism, community service and patriotism. The teams from the various tertiary institutions are expected to choose a deprived community in Nigeria, identify a project that can be implemented to benefit the community at large, and present a proposal focused on developing/empowering people within that community.
