THE PRINCE'S TRUST NEEDS YOU!
National Citizen Service (NCS) is a new, free scheme for year 11 school leavers to learn new skills, challenge themselves and make a positive impact in their community during the summer holidays.
Young people will design a project to benefit their local area as well as going on two team-building residential weeks, taking part in outdoor challenges and group activities.
NCS will be run with The Prince's Trust and The Source in Sheffield, starting on 4th July. Places are limited so interested young people should apply as soon as possible.
Sam Kennedy, Prince's Trust regional director for Yorkshire and The Humber, said: "All too often young people are viewed negatively by society, as "no-hopers" or "layabouts". National Citizen Service will give Sheffield's young people the chance to prove that they can and do make a positive impact in their community."
"NCS will also give young people the chance to make new friends, build their confidence and gain new skills for future employment or further education."
The Prince's Trust is also appealing for volunteers to help run the scheme in Sheffield. Volunteers will help the young people to achieve success, giving them support and encouragement during the course.
Sam adds: "The Prince's Trust could not achieve the results it does without the support of our volunteers. The Trust's 5,000 volunteers play a pivotal role in helping young people move forward with their lives."
Youth charity The Prince's Trust helps change young lives. It runs a range of courses, giving disadvantaged young people practical and financial support and helping them develop key workplace skills such as confidence and motivation. More than three in four young people on Prince's Trust schemes move into work, education and training.
NCS is a coalition government scheme to be piloted across the UK this summer. Twelve pilot projects will run across England in summer 2011 giving 11,000 young people the chance to take part.
