Duke of Edinburgh Award (DofE)

The DofE Award gives young people the chance to develop skills for work and life, fulfill their potential and have a brighter future.

The Award is a personal programme for young people aged 14-24, giving them the chance to develop skills outside the classroom.  There are three levels, bronze, silver and gold. Each level is split into four sections (five for gold): Volunteering, Physical, Skills, Expedition and a residential activity (gold only).

Further details about the award can be found at www.dofe.org 

Youth Connexions holds the Hertfordshire Authority Operating Licence which enables schools and learning establishments to deliver DofE to young people under the Youth Connexions licence.
