The National Citizen Scheme
The National Citizen Service scheme is a
voluntary youth engagement and personal development programme for 15 – 17 year-olds throughout England.
It helps young people
build their skills for work and life, whilst taking on new
challenges and
meeting new friends. The courses run in the spring, summer and autumn. They consist of a short time away from home and taking part in a
team project that will help local communities.
