National Citizen Service (NCS) is a key part of the Government’s efforts to build a bigger, stronger society. The two month programme will mix sixteen year olds from a variety of backgrounds, and will include a two week stay away from home. It will give 16 year olds a challenge – and help them to help their communities.
The first two weeks of the programme will take young people away from home and involve tough physical activities that will boost their confidence and build their teamwork and leadership skills. They will then return home and spend a further five weeks working in teams to develop a project that will help to change something they don’t like about their communities.
Starting in July, after exams have finished, 12 NCS pilot programmes will take place across the country with a total of 11,000 spaces up for grabs.
