The National Citizen Service (NCS) is a voluntary personal and social development program for 16–17 year olds in England funded largely by money from the UK Government.[1] Its objective is to create ‘a country of connected, confident and caring citizens where everyone feels at home’. Since its inception, NCS has delivered over one million experiences to young people.

NCS Trust is the only dedicated public body for youth. They work closely with Government to shape their ambition for young people. NCS offers a range of experiences to young people that support them to grow their strengths and realise their potential to become exactly who they want to be — through boosting their confidence, getting involved in social and community action, making new friends from diverse backgrounds, and developing essential skills to become world and work ready.
