National Citizen Service, also known as the NCS, is a Government-funded[2] personal and social development program in England available for 16-17 year olds. The scheme is run by the NCS Trust, a public body for youth and a key component of the Government's National Youth Guarantee. Since being founded by David Cameron in 2009, NCS has provided around one million away-from-home youth development activities to 16 and 17-year-olds.[3]
