How to get started in Ontario:

If you're between 14-25 years of age and looking for a new personal challenge; this is the Award for you. The Duke of Edinburgh's Award programme offers young people a balanced, non-competitive programme of voluntary activities which encourage personal discovery and growth, self-reliance, perseverance, responsibility to themselves and service to their community.

The Award is not an academic achievement but rather an opportunity to develop or be recognized for your extra curricular activities and interests.

Who?
The Award is available to EVERYONE who is 14-25 years of age.

What?
The Award is comprised of four sections: Service, Skill, Physical Recreation, and Adventurous Journey. Click here for a short summary of the requirements.

Where?
One of the great things about the Duke of Edinburgh's Award is that you can accomplish it anywhere! You can develop your own programme to fit into the resources you have in your community. The Award can also open up doors with new opportunities for you to travel abroad.

When?
If you are between the ages of 14-25, you can start recording your activities towards your Duke of Edinburgh's Award as soon as you have registered with the Ontario Office. There are no set registration times throughout the year.
