YOUR NCS
WEEK 1: GET ACTIVE
Five days away from home enjoying instructor-led group activities such as kayaking, high ropes and rock climbing.
WEEK 2: GET INVOLVED
While spending 5 days living in Southampton Solent University Halls, your responsibility is increased as you have to cook and budget for yourselves, and are encouraged to become more independent. You will also gain a first aid qualification.
WEEK 3 & 4: MAKE A DIFFERENCE
You will meet with local businesses and organisations in Southampton, before planning a 'Social Action Project' with your team in your local community. You will then pitch for funding to kick start your chosen project, ready to make an impact in Southampton.
GRADUATION
Finally you graduate - receiving a certificate signed by the Prime Minister. And as part of the NCS Graduate Programme you get access to unique opportunities to continue volunteering in Southampton, and stay connected to each other and your local community.

We have bursaries and a reduced cost for pupil premium students (free school meals) available. The programme focuses on self development, confidence building, positive social mix and challenging young people to get the best out of themselves.
