The President’s Award for Youth Empowerment in South Africa is part of the Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award. It challenges young people between the ages of 14 and 24 in four areas: physical recreation, skills, adventurous journey, and service. These provide a balanced programme of activities which develop an existing range of talents and interests.
In addition, important life skills are acquired – communication, negotiation, planning, presentation and problem resolution. There are also many hidden outcomes, including an increase in confidence, self-belief and independence; a greater civic responsibility and the opportunity to try out different experiences.
