Your Award
Ever wanted to challenge yourself? If you are 14 – 25 and interested in doing something that takes you beyond the everyday, then The Award is for you.
So, what's in it for me?
- A great time
- Life changing experiences
- Fun with your mates
- Travel and adventure
- Connecting with people all over the world
- Making a difference
What is it?
A program that you design based on your interests, and covers the following:
-
Skill
– anything from playing in a band to fashion design to film and video making. You decide.
-
Volunteering
– choose your area of interest in the community, such as youth work, the environment or charity work, to name a few.
-
Adventurous Journey
– journey into an unfamiliar environment with a group, and challenge yourself.
-
Physical Recreation
– get out there and get sweating! Dancing, adventure sports, ball sports, martial arts, the list goes on.
-
Residential Project
- if you do your Gold, you can go and live somewhere totally different. A life changing experience.
What do I have to do?
- Set yourself challenges
- Get out there and meet those challenges.
It's not easy, but it is worth the effort. It really will change your world.
Oh, and the great thing about The Award is that it allows you to piggy-back onto activities you're already doing, such as surf life saving, playing sport, plaing in a band...
Or, you can start something you’ve always dreamed of doing but haven’t had the reason to begin.
