NYS said some of the requirements are that the volunteer should be a Kenyan citizen and a resident of the respective sub-county of recruitment and they should be aged 18 to 24 years.
They should have a mean Grade of D plain and above in KCSE and they should also produce an Original National Identity Card and academic Certificates (avail of one set of photocopies of the same at the recruitment centre).
Others are that they must have a certificate of Good Conduct, must be ready to undergo medical check-ups during and after the recruitment exercise, should be prepared to undergo rigorous physical training and should be prepared to give voluntary service to the Nation in any part of Kenya.
NYS said successful candidates will report for the NYS paramilitary Course at NYS College, Gilgil and NYSTTI Naivasha on dates and times specified in their respective calling letters to be issued.
NYS noted that orphans who meet the qualification requirements above will be given special preference subject to the production of sufficient documentary proof such as parents’ death Certificates or burial permits.
Persons with disability are also encouraged to avail themselves for the recruitment exercise in their sub-counties and centres provided they can withstand the rigorous physical training.
"NYS does not condone corruption in any form. Canvassing and giving monetary or other considerations for admission is an offence which can lead to automatic disqualification and or prosecution.
