Even More on the Duke of Edinburgh
The Duke of Edinburgh Award is an international program for people ages 14-24 that aims to develop important life skills based on the individual interests of each participant. The core purpose is to build confidence and independence for young people while they pursue their personal goals. There are 3 levels that participants may complete: Bronze, Silver and Gold.
All participants must be committed to do volunteering in some capacity that is relevant to their personal interests and goals. This can be tutoring, joining community service, or other types of activities that improve your local community. This is an essential cornerstone of the program and participants must volunteer on a regular basis over a certain period of time in order to move on with the next level. We believe this is an important part for YouMeWe’s participants as it will help them develop consistency, resilience and active learning through practical tasks.
