What is it?
Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award acknowledges that not all learning happens within a classroom, but happens through experience and collaboration with our community, helping young people (between the ages of 14 and 24) discover an area where they can excel and giving them the confidence they need to succeed in their future endeavors. This global award can be used on university applications and/or job resumes to help demonstrate the participant’s commitment to a well-rounded and healthy lifestyle.
