The Duke of Edinburgh's Award is a self directed development programme for young Canadians age 14 to 25
The Award Programme is filled with activities that you can do in your spare time. There are three award levels to achieve; Bronze, Silver and Gold. Achieving an award is as easy as setting and achieving your personal goals in the four areas of the programme: Community Service, Skills, Physical Recreation and Adventurous Journey.
With over 36,000 young people across Canada already involved, what are you waiting for? It’s challenging and different, but more important it’s about having fun, trying something new, learning and improving skills and spending time with old friends and making some new friends along the way.
So go on, Take the Challenge… Live the Achievement.
