Would you like to learn to rock climb? Or spend time.
working at an animal sanctuary? That's what Andrea
Black and Jenny Smith are doing as part of their Duke of
Edinburgh Award programme.
The award encourages young people to do exciting
cultural, social and adventure activities in their free time.
The Queen's husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, started the
award in 1956. He started it because he wanted young
people to learn to help themselves and other people.
The award is for people aged 14-25, and there are
three levels: Bronze, for those aged 14 or over, Silver
for over 15s, and Gold for over 16s. You have to
complete four activities to achieve the award:
• go on an expedition (e.g. hiking, kayaking or
climbing)
• learn a new practical or social skill (anything from
painting to podcasting!)
take on a physical challenge (e.g. learn or improve
at a sport)
. do voluntary work, helping people or the
environment (e.g. work with disabled or elderly
people, or raise money for a charity)
Young people usually do the award at a Duke of
Edinburgh club at their school or at a local youth group.
They decide what they are going to do, and write a plan.
It usually takes between one and three years to finish an
award.
