Although it is currently a pilot, the UK Government is committed to expanding International Citizen Service (ICS) so that thousands more young people can take part.
We are not expecting any break between the pilot and the full phase, and you should be able to apply for summer 2012 placements, from spring 2012 onwards, once the contract for delivering the full phase of ICS has been awarded. Register your interest in the future of ICS and summer placements by emailing us.
