The Duke of Edinburgh's Award
The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award (DofE) is the world’s leading youth achievement award.
Make friends for life, push yourself mentally and physically, develop your teamwork, communication and leadership skills and experience an adventurous expedition like no other.
We run The DofE Award from youth centres across Essex. Our evening training sessions run weekly during term time only, starting every year in the autumn term.
