Monday 23rd - Friday 27th July

National Citizen Service (NCS) is a flagship initiative supporting the Government’s vision for building the Big Society and this summer Safe in Tees Valley will be offering over a thousand 16 year olds from all backgrounds the opportunity to work together, take on new challenges and make a difference in their community.

The link up with the OYT North will see a number of young people experience living in the close confines of a yacht as part of NCS while participating in all aspects of sailing under the expert tuition of the OYT North’s Skipper Grace Metcalfe.

Participants will become part of the working crew onboard and will be shown how to hoist and set the sails, take the helm, help with the cooking and cleaning onboard as well as develop important skills, such as teamwork, leadership, communication and problem-solving.
