Pilots for a National Citizen Service for young people announced by the Prime Minister

National Citizen Service is a flagship initiative supporting the Government’s vision for building the Big Society. NCS will act as a gateway to the Big Society for many young people, by supporting them to develop the skills and attitudes they need to get more engaged with their communities and become active and responsible citizens.

The programme will promote:

A more cohesive society by mixing participants of different backgrounds.
A more responsible society by supporting the transition into adulthood for young people.
A more engaged society by enabling young people to work together to create social action projects in their local communities.
