In 2011, the National Citizen Service (NCS) was created to provide young people with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience new challenges and learn new skills through team-building exercises and outdoor activities, while making new friends and contributing to their community.
Since its launch, the NCS has seen more than 60,000 young people graduate from the programme and donate more than 1.5 million hours of their time to social action projects across England. When we speak to our graduates and their teachers, it is clear that taking part in the programme has had a profound influence on many of their lives.
NCS is open to all 16 and 17-year-olds in England and parts of Northern Ireland and takes place outside of school time during the spring, summer and autumn holidays.
