Everyone’s Award is unique but it’s always an adventure!

The Award is the world’s leading youth achievement Award which gives 14-24 year olds the opportunity to be the best they can be. There are three progressive levels of programmes, which when successfully completed, lead to a Bronze, Silver or Gold Award.

Gaisce – The President’s Award and The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award work in partnership through the Joint Award Initiative (JAI) to offer Award participants in Northern Ireland a choice of recognition for their achievements.

They can choose a Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, a Gaisce – The President’s Award or a Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award Certificate.

We hope you really enjoy your time on the programme.
