NCS is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity open to all 16 and 17 year-olds in England and Northern Ireland that helps them build skills for work and life, whilst taking on new challenges and meeting new friends.
The aims of NCS are to enable young people to:
- Take on new challenges and learn new skills
- Make a difference while making new friends
- Grow in confidence and improve their CV
- Experience something new while giving back to the community
The programmes are seasonal with scale programmes taking place in the spring and autumn half terms and summer programmes taking place in the summer holidays. Each programme consists of at least one residential (four days for scale programmes or two, five day residential for the summer programme) which includes outdoor activities, community based skills learning and culminates with the young people designing and implementing a project to have an impact in their local community.
