WE ARE EQUIPPING YOUNG CANADIANS FOR LIFE.
By doing the Award, young people should be encouraged to show imagination, to be able to look beyond barriers and to set goals, not limits. The challenge is for young people to make things happen rather than waiting for things to happen for them.
We have developed our impact measures by examining existing research and evidence on the Award's effectiveness as a youth development tool. Much of this evidence is based on young people's own reports of how doing the Award has transformed their outlook, but it also takes into account the views of employers, educational institutions, parents and youth leaders.
Young people across the country are growing, learning, exploring, developing, and thriving thanks to the Award and its remarkable program.
