Steps to become an affiliated member of the Seychelles National Youth Council |24 February 2018

How to apply?

Youth organisations need to get in touch with the Youth Council, ideally located at Orion Mall in Victoria or their youth workers in their respective district in order to get an application form, which is also available online (http://www.snyc.info). After completing the application form, the youth group can then submit it, along with accompanying documents to the office of the deputy chief executive officer of SNYC, at the council’s headquarters.

 

What happens next?

After submitting your application form it will be considered by a vetting committee. This committee is responsible to ensure that all the applicants meet the required criteria to be accredited as an affiliated member. To note, the vetting committee is made up of board members of the council and a member of the executive of SNYC and they only meet once every three months.

Following the vetting exercise, successful applicants will be informed. They will then be presented with a certificate and a membership card. In addition, they will also feature on the council’s membership database.

 

What are the benefits?

The primary benefit of being an affiliated member is that it widens the opportunity for different youth groups with varying interest to be more involved in the work of the council. Additionally, It opens up new avenues which will allow them to be more involved in the decision making process of the council. Below is a short list of some of the benefits of being an affiliated member; 

 

Affiliated members can:

  • participate and vote during the AGM
  • be elected on the board of directors
