NYS has requested the National Council for Persons with Disabilities to mobilize and sensitize youth with disabilities within their respective counties so they can participate in the recruitment alongside other applicants.
Officials said the move is intended to enhance representation of persons with disabilities in government youth programmes and ensure they benefit from opportunities offered by the service.
The National Youth Service plays a key role in youth empowerment, skills development, and national development projects, providing training and employment pathways for young Kenyans.
