Volunteering with NSS
Who can join, how to enrol and what is expected through the service year.
Enrolment
Joining the two units
NSS volunteers are regular students of the school — selected through an enrolment window each year and placed into one of the two NSS units. Unit allocation, batch and duties are assigned by the programme officers.
Who can enrol
- Regular students of the school in the programme year's target classes.
- A genuine willingness to complete both regular service and the residential camp.
- Parental consent where required for camp participation.
What is expected
- 120 hours of regular service in the programme year.
- Full attendance at the seven-day special camp.
- Discipline, uniform, diary upkeep and adherence to the programme code of conduct.
Unit life
Volunteers are organised into small teams within each unit. Captains, Vice-Captains and Secretaries lead tasks; programme officers mentor and sign off diaries and attendance. The full rosters are visible on the two unit pages.
Certificates & records
Certificates for the programme year and for the special camp are issued as per the scheme guidelines. See Certificates for the issuing policy.
