Contribute to developing our next generation of leaders by delivering the Duke of Edinburgh's International Award.

Through its non-formal learning opportunities and Award Framework, The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award provides a foundation for young people to thrive – now and in the future.

If your organisation brings together young people between the ages of 14 and 24, whether it be as a school, youth centre, employer, or other type of organisation, you can contribute to developing our next generation of leaders by delivering the Award.
