Duke of Edinburgh Award activities
Council supports Duke of Edinburgh Award activities as we believe that this work empowers more young people to excel by building valuable life skills, gaining employment and accessing further education. Based on availability, our libraries do support Duke of Ed students in a volunteering capacity.
Students enrolled in the Duke of Edinburgh (Duke of Ed) Award process are required to volunteer 1 hour per week for over 3months.
