HELP SUPPORT YOUNG PEOPLE IN ALBERTA, NORTHWEST TERRITORIES & NUNAVUT.

Our mandate is to ensure that all young people are provided with the opportunity to participate in The Duke of Edinburgh's International Award. There are several ways you can support us and help us develop and sustain the Award in hard to reach and hard to serve communities, in turn providing participants with the support they need to realize their own goals and achievements.

Invest in Canada's greatest resource, its young people

It is thanks to the on-going generosity of corporate and private donors, foundations and service organizations, that the Award is able to connect with young people in hard to serve and hard to reach communities.

We would like to acknowledge the following supporters who help us ensure that all young people across Alberta, Northwest Territories and Nunavut, regardless of social, economic or geographical background, have the opportunity to participate in the Award.

  • I came from a background of trauma, gangs, and crime… this is more than just an Award. I would like to thank the leaders, mentors and support systems that have been there for me… providing the platform for young people, like us, to learn, grow and prepare for the next phase of life, regardless of the path we have come from.
    - Tyrone M., Bronze & Silver Award Achiever
  • We support initiatives that improve the way youth in conflict with the law navigate their time in the youth justice system and emerge better individually and with better hope for their integration in society. Our investment in youth, through this program, and our work with reforming Canada's criminal justice system is really an investment in ourselves and Canada's future.
    - The Honourable David Lametti, P.C., M.P. Minister of Justice & Attorney General of Canada
  • Supporting my community through volunteering, although simple, makes me feel important and that I am making an impact. The Award has allowed me to explore new experiences, which is very important to me as a Canadian immigrant.

  • J.P. was a challenged 16-year old, six foot, close to 370 pounds. We set a goal, for himself, to run non-stop around the gym for more than two laps. At the time, running more than 10 steps would have been a major undertaking. After four months of perseverance, he successfully completed four laps… he proudly declared himself an “athlete”.
    - Jim Thorne, former Award Leader
  • On a participant in the Youth Resiliency Program:
    One of the most fascinating things to watch during the program is [the participant’s] ability to be a leader. He can always influence his peers and I enjoy watching his dynamics… I am looking forward to seeing his growth and contributing everything I can towards it.
    - Ryan "Rubix" De Guzman, Youth Central
