Welcome to your NCS journey!
Firstly, I would like to introduce Activate NCS. We are your National Citizen Service (NCS) provider for Leciester.
NCS is a Government funded programme for 16 – 17 year olds to take part in during the summer holidays. Activate NCS are your delivery partners of the project, which aims to give young people the opportunity to build skills for work and make a positive impact in their community.
What is NCS?
NCS works in 4 parts:
Adventure: Get your blood pumping and laugh until your belly hurts on our 4 night residential stay packed with outdoor adventure at Ampleforth College. You will face new challenges together in your team and find a whole new level of teamwork!
Discovery: Increase your responsibility and find your independence on a 4 night residential stay in a college setting. Gain the confidence to smash that big interview, learn what it is like to be a project manager or discover a talent that you never knew was there!
Action: Take your new skills, your new team, and the support of your team leader and throw it back into your community. Show the locals what you are made of as you deliver a 30 hour project to improve something you feel passionate about in your local community.
Celebrate: Bring your mates, bring your parents, bring whoever you want to watch you Graduate your NCS journey. Showcase your experience using your video skills and collect that all important certificate.
