Outdoor adventures for 16 and 17 year olds

Last year more than 8,000 young people took their story in a new direction with National Citizen Service. This year, you can too. If you're 16 or 17 and you aren't sure what to do this summer, then NCS could be the perfect solution. NCS is an opportunity for you to fill it with outdoor adventure, to meet new people from all walks of life and make a real difference to your community. It's great to put on your CV or college application and you'll learn new skills that employers and universities will love. You'll spend two weeks away from home where you might be mountaineering, or canoeing. And when you get back, you'll work as a team on a project to improve your community. To celebrate there'll be a graduation ceremony – and last year 600 lucky graduates also got tickets for an exclusive gig at the O2 Academy. Go to nationalcitizenservice.direct.gov.uk for more details.
