DofE programme

Each level of the Award has four elements that have to be completed typically over three to twelve months depending on the level:

Volunteering	Voluntary work in the local community that could be combined with potential work experience e.g., Teaching, Coaching, Childcare.
Physical	Regular participation in a sport or fitness activity e.g., Football or Netball Teams/Clubs
Skills	Learn or improve a skill over a period of time e.g., Cooking or Music.
Expedition	A two to four- day walking journey with camping to develop teamwork.
Residential	Gold only. Time away from home meeting new people in a different environment.

Experience tells us that the award at all levels provides a young person with new insights into their capabilities and by trying new things it helps confidence to grow plus develop useful skills.
