National Citizen Service is starting this year for the first time. This summer it will be available in just a few places in England, and Cumbria is one of them.
In the future, National Citizen Service is planned to be offered to all 16 year olds as they finish Year 11. You could be one of the first young people in the country to experience National Citizen Service.
There are a limited number of place still available on the scheme, if you are interested please call into the Connexions Office at 237-241 Dalton Road, Barrow in Furness or contact Connexions on 0800 435 709
