National Citizen Service is a once-in-a-lifetime experience<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

On Monday, the National Citizen Service (NCS) is due to come into school to tell students about the incredible scheme that is available to 15 to 17-year olds.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With twelve weeks to fill after exams, NCS offers the ideal solution to make it a summer to remember, through exciting new challenges and experiences.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nearly 500,000 young people have already taken part, and Bridgnorth Endowed School Year 11 students are invited to be among this year\u2019s recruits.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The programme is split into four phases, specifically designed to help teenagers to discover who they are and what they can do.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phase 1: Adventure<\/strong>
<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The programme starts with five days at an outdoor pursuits centre, with the chance to try a variety of activities ranging from rock climbing and kayaking to problem solving and challenge courses. Meals and accommodation are provided plus there\u2019s entertainment lined up for the evenings.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phase 2: Discovery<\/strong>
<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The second week gives teenagers the opportunity to live at a university or college, staying in student accommodation, and taking part in sessions to build key life skills, such as first aid training and interview techniques.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phase 3: Action<\/strong>
<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Using these new-found skills, participants will plan and run their own social action project to make a difference to the local area. Past examples have included sponsored sleep outs to raise awareness of homelessness, regeneration projects, and fundraising events.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phase 4: Celebration<\/strong>
<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The final phase is about celebration, and a graduation ceremony gives everyone the chance to relive the highlights and recognise the effort that each young person has dedicated to the programme.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The total cost is just \u00a350 and NCS will be offering the students a discounted sign up price should they book their place within 10 days of the presentation (\u00a340 instead of \u00a350, but \u00a325 at any time if on free school meals).
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, to boost your UCAS statement or CV, meet incredible people, take away a host of new skills and more confidence, as well as having plenty of fun, why not consider NCS?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
