- NCS three-week wave consists of one residential week (5 working days) and two non-residential weeks (10 working days).
In the first week (Mon-Fri), based at a residential centre away from home, teams of young people supported by staff will take part in challenging outdoor team building activities. In the remaining two weeks (Mon-Fri), delivered from a local hub, young people will build their confidence and other life skills, and then design and deliver a project that benefits their local community utilising the skills they’ve built throughout the entire programme.
- NCS two-week wave which is fully non-residential (10 working days).
In these two weeks (Mon-Fri), delivered from a local hub, young people will build their confidence and other life skills, and then design and deliver a project that benefits their local community utilising the skills they’ve built throughout the entire programme.
