What are you going to do:

National Citizen Service (NCS)

The National Citizen Service is a youth programme for 16 and 17 year olds launched nationwide in 2013. Participants experience residential activities away from home and team-based skill building sessions, before developing their own Social Action Project (SAP) designed to benefit their local communities. NCS aims to create a more cohesive, engaged and responsible society.

Taking part will result in young people:

  • Learning some new skills
  • Meeting new people
  • Making a real difference to the community or an issue they care about

National Citizen Service will take place during the summer at the end of Year 11 and 12. It will run for four weeks full-time, including two weeks away from home. After that, participants complete 2 weeks of Social Action in their community.

Working in a team, young people will have the chance to take part in exciting outdoor activities like coasteering, canoeing and abseiling.

Participants also get the opportunity to design and deliver their own project in their local community. This could mean working with other young people to improve the area where they live, benefiting everyone who lives there.

National Citizen Programme (NCS)

NCS is a 4-week personal development programme for 16-17 year olds in Year 11/12. Teams of up to 15 young people take part in a challenging and action-packed programme, a major part of which involves a social action project in the community.

NCS Teams are made up of people from a variety of backgrounds and experiences. This Team 'mix' is a unique ingredient, which contributes to the development of all Team members.

The NCS Team develops confidence, motivation and skills and offers young people the opportunity to gain qualifications. Taking part will result in young people learning some new skills, meeting new people, making a real difference to the community or an issue they care about.

NCS activities are carried out under the guidance of the Delivery Workers who ensures a supportive learning environment, which is vital to successful personal development.

Context of Work

NCS is delivered nationally by a network of 'Delivery Partners', organisations from the public, private and voluntary sectors who are committed to the development of young people. Delivery Partners work within the NCS Trust guidelines to deliver a programme of the highest quality in partnership with a regional delivery partner.
