The Chapter has an active communication strategy of targeting the Chapter Members, potential Members and general Public through the medium of Print, Email, Media, Word of Mouth publicity and so on. All its Print Advertisements, which are being released regularly, are sent to CCU International, for prior approval. The Chapter Board Members actively serve as Brand Ambassadors of the Chapter at many of the functions, where they are invited to speak on the profession of Humanitarian Service, Youth-at-risk, and community development.

Grooming Future Leaders

Every active NGO uses volunteers for both members and non-member, therefore CCUF Lagos Chapter regularly encourages its members to come forward and serve the Chapter as Volunteers, in different capacities. In due course after regular volunteering, these members get elected to the Chapter Board. This helps the Chapter in grooming a regular line of Volunteers and Future Leaders. The Chapter also started a practice of “Call for Volunteers” program, inviting the Chapter Members to come forward and serve the Chapter, highlighting therein the benefits accruing to the Volunteers.
