  We would like to see more young people having access to the Award, to help increase their resilience, self-confidence and engagement within their school and community. We would like to have more employers recognise the Award during their recruitment process, by becoming Duke of Ed Employers. We would like to grow our Duke 4Sport partners, and connect with more sporting organisations, to help them engage differently with their young people. We’re also very keen to have the tertiary sector recognise the young people who have dedicated time to improving themselves, supported the community and demonstrated their ability to commit to long term goals. The Duke of Edinburgh's International Award is a leading structured (non-formal education) youth development program, empowering young people between 14-25 to explore their full potential regardless of their location or circumstance. The Award is a fully inclusive program and has no social, political, or religious affiliations. Show less
