National Citizen Service
 National Citizen Service (NCS) is a non-military voluntary national service for 16 and 17-year olds in England. It was piloted in 2011 and from 2013 volunteers will pay approximately £50 to take part in the scheme. The scheme takes place in the summer autumn and spring. In all cases it begins with a residential visit to an activity centre which coincides with school holidays. This lasts for 4 to 5 days in the autumn and spring version.
