Transform the lives of young people

We want those young people who face barriers to not get left behind, to use the DofE as a scaffold to enhance their skills and level the playing field. With more than 60 years’ experience helping young people transform their worlds, The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award is more relevant than ever – and ready to help.
