Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award
About the Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award
The Award is a leading structured (non-formal education) youth development program, empowering all young Australians aged 14-24 to explore their full potential and find their purpose, passion and place in the world, regardless of their location or circumstance.
The Award is a fully inclusive program and has no social, political, or religious affiliations.


How is an Award Achieved?
While the Award follows the same structure wherever it takes place around the world, students at LJBC will be provided a wide variety of opportunities, making each student’s experience unique to them.
Students must learn a skill, improve their physical wellbeing, volunteer in their community and experience a team adventure in a new environment. All Participants will be supported by LJBC staff and by individual members of the community.
