2021 NCS Programme

NCS (National Citizen Service) is a government-backed initiative with a mission to equip 15-17 year olds with the confidence, skills and support they need to make a real difference in their communities. The aim is to encourage young people from different backgrounds to mix through a local, community-based programme. 

  • NCS three-week wave which consists of one residential week (5 working days) and two non-residential weeks (10 working days).

In the first week (Mon-Fri), based at a residential centre away from home, teams of young people supported by staff will take part in challenging outdoor team building activities. In the remaining two weeks (Mon-Fri), delivered from a local hub, young people will build their confidence and other life skills, and then design and deliver a project that benefits their local community utilising the skills they’ve built throughout the entire programme.

  • NCS two-week wave which is fully non-residential (10 working days).

In these two weeks (Mon-Fri), delivered from a local hub, young people will build their confidence and other life skills, and then design and deliver a project that benefits their local community utilising the skills they’ve built throughout the entire programme.

Twin offers a fixed-term contract and aims to provide longer employment consisting of a few waves. This is however, subject to the performance on the programme and young people numbers.

Additional opportunities in our Autumn 2021 programme may become available to those that will have worked on our summer programme(s) and received positive feedback.

Locations: North East & South East London
