"Go on Basildon, Get out there !!"

National Citizen Service 

The flagship project will provide a programme for 16 year olds to develop the skills needed to be active and responsible citizens, mix with people from different backgrounds, and start getting involved in their communities.

It will take the form of an five week programme to take place during the 2011 summer between June and August. It will consist of two separate residential weeks followed by a social action project to be run by participants in their own communities. 

What does NCS involve? 

The programme involves young people in a local area coming together in teams (usually teams of 15). While young people can go along with friends, teams will also be a chance to makenew friends and meet people from different backgrounds.
