MYA NCS (National Citizens Service)
The Merseyside Youth Association’s local community experiences, funded by NCS is an opportunity for young people to gain life skills, employability skills and develop their own social action project.
Grow Your Strengths
The NCS Targeted programme is a 12-week programme for 16–17-year olds, or up to age 24 for young people with Special Education Needs and Disabilities (SEND). You will become part of a team and build life skills, employability skills and engage in a positive social action project. You will meet your team once a week, either mid-week after school/college or during the weekend.
