to be an official training partner for the National Citizen Service (NCS). The school employs a co-ordinator who oversees the training of around 130 local students before they volunteer 30 hours in their local community. The school's annual contribution to its local community is reported on its website. Army Cadet Force Unlike most independent schools who have a Combined Cadet Force unit, Hymers has its own Army Cadet Force detachment currently containing around 10 cadets ranging from recruits to senior NCOs. Hymers College Royal Logistic Corps detachment is affiliated to 150th Transport Regiment of the Royal Logistic Corps. The detachment is in B Company of Humberside and South Yorkshire Army Cadet Force. In the early 1990s, a pupil (who was also a cadet at another detachment in Hull) approached a teacher who had previously served in the army and suggested that the college should form its own cadet unit. The detachment's regimental affiliation was uncertain, many old Hymerians had fought during the wars in various units but one above all others featured in the records: the Parachute Regiment. No sponsor Parachute Regiment unit was available. The local (TA) unit was the only option, that was Royal Corps of Transport (TA) in Hull at the time the detachment formed. The detachment had the Royal Corps of Transport cap badge for only a few months before the amalgamation of the Royal Corps of Transport into the Royal Logistic Corps. For many years the detachment made use of the college's biology labs and then the school gymnasium. The gymnasium had space for drill indoors, air rifle shooting as well as a small armoury, which was an improvement on the science labs. The detachment commander became the company commander of E company (South Humberside) while the detachment remained in B company. When the detachment commander became the commander of A company instead of E company the detachment became part of A company (east Hull and eastern part of the East Riding of Yorkshire), this only lasted about a year and the detachment and its commander returned to B company. The detachment moved out of the gymnasium building into a new prefabricated building a couple of years ago. A concrete .22 shooting range has recently been added next to the main building. The detachment commander was until recently the same teacher who started the detachment in the early 1990s, but in 2007 he was replaced
