YOUNG people in Warrington are being given the opportunity to spend a summer full of adventure and excitement, learning new skills, making new friends, and even improving their CV through the National Citizen Service (NCS) programme.
NCS is a flagship government initiative, which aims to promote a more cohesive, responsible and engaged society by bringing young people from different backgrounds together to make a difference in their communities.
It is a voluntary programme for 16-year-olds, which focuses on their personal and social development and includes challenging activities, from away-from-home residential experiences to a self-designed social action project.
The programme is being delivered by Participation Through Sport in partnership with O2 Think Big, a social action programme for young people.
It encourages young people to “start small” with an idea to benefit their local community, and then offers money, training and support to help them to “Think Big” to make the most of their idea.
There are several places available for this year’s Year 11 leavers who either live or attend school in Warrington.
For four weeks between June and August, they can take part in a range of activities and get a chance to meet prospective employers and local colleges, and find out about training and volunteering opportunities.
For more information, contact Participation Through Sport on 01925 595 007, email [email protected] or complete an application form at www.nya.org.uk/ncs2012
