Youth Achievement Awards

Youth Achievement Awards enable young people to progressively take more responsibility in selecting, planning and leading activities that are based on their interests.

Rather than a 'school type' project, participants gather evidence to show what they have done. This can be in the form of witness statements, certificates, CD's, videos etc.

There are four levels of the award; bronze, sliver, gold and platinum. Each level encourages progression, from being involved, to leading activities. The awards lead to a nationally recognised certificate.
