The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award is a global framework for non-formal education and learning that challenges young people to dream big, celebrate their achievements, and make a difference in their world. By helping young people find their purpose, passion, and place in the world through developing transferable skills, increasing their fitness levels, cultivating a sense of adventure, and volunteering in their community, the Award helps them find their worldview.
We believe our programming not only changes the lives of our participants,
but provides them with the tools and skills to create positive change
in their family, school, and community.
