Award Community
The Award Community consists of teachers, youth workers, sponsors, and institutions from all over the world joining forces for a common goal: supporting young people on their path to self-discovery, perseverance, and excellence.
Here, every adult who gets involved in the Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award programme finds not only resources and practical tools but also a living network of dedicated people who share the same vision: to give young people the chance to build a better future.
Why be part of the Community?
Because you are not alone in your mission. In the Award Community you will discover:
- Inspiration – success stories and ideas that have changed lives in other corners of the world.
- Support – materials, guides, and best practices that help make your work easier and more efficient.
- Real connections – a global network of professionals, institutions, and supporters dedicated to the same cause.
The power of community
For a teacher, it means the inspiration to motivate students to go further than they ever thought they could. For a youth worker, it means the support to transform daily activities into memorable experiences. For a parent, it means the joy of seeing their own child develop the confidence, responsibility, and courage to push their limits. For a sponsor or an institution, it means the satisfaction of investing in a programme with real impact, internationally recognised, that forms the leaders of tomorrow.
Together, further
The Award Community is not just a digital space – it is a movement. A movement that unites, encourages, and transforms. Being part of it means contributing to a future where every young person has the chance to discover their potential and leave a positive mark on the world.
