Temporary Changes to our Program
To support our participants and Award Leaders, both now and when social distancing measures lessen, we're introducing some temporary program changes.
We've developed at-a- glance program changes tip sheet for Award Leaders. Participants please contact your Award Leader for more information.
Temporary program changes will be in effect from May 1 – Dec 31 2022 and will be continually reviewed. Participants should reach out to their Award Leader or Division for more information about these changes. Award Leaders can find guides and more information about program accommodations on our Award Leader Resource Portal.
If you have any questions, please contact us at info@dukeofed.org
#TheAwardatHome
The flexible program of the Award means that you can still work towards achieving your goals and your Award while at home! If your Award activities have been cancelled or your goals are no longer attainable due to COVID19 there are lots of new ones you can try instead. We have worked with our partners and global Award family to develop a list of activity ideas you can do from the comfort of your own home.
For more information on how to complete your Award during this time you can visit our resource pages (see links below). We will continue to update this page with national and regional resources for both participants and Award Leaders.
Download our quick at a glance reference card for doing your Award at home. We encourage everyone to follow the current government guidance, as well as WHO advice on how to protect yourselves and others and when to seek medical help.

The Award in Action during COVID-19
Case studies help bring the Award to life. By sharing your experience as an Award participant, we can demonstrate just how unique the Award is to every young person who takes part. By taking part in the Award, you are already doing amazing things to help build resilience in yourself and in your community. And we know there are a huge range of examples of how the Award is not only still in action during COVID-19 but that this resilience is needed now, more than ever. Please help to inspire the international Award community through this challenging time by sharing your Award experience through COVID-19 with us. Download the case study form and please email completed forms and accompanying photos and /or videos to info@dukeofed.org
Note: If you are under 16, please have your parents fill out the media consent form and email it back to us with your story!
