Our animations tell four young Award holders’ stories of how their DofE gave them the confidence, resilience and space to overcome personal challenges.
Today’s young people are dedicated, inspired and ambitious. They’ve risen to the challenges of the COVID-19 outbreak, playing their part in their communities and helping those who need their support.
But the pandemic has hit their mental health and wellbeing hard. It’s put their education, social lives and work on hold and, for some, led to increased stress, worry and loneliness,.
As a new school year starts, the DofE can help young people develop the skills and character traits they need, including confidence, resilience and adaptability, to get through this crisis, safely expand their worlds and stand out in whatever they want to do.
Our animations tell the real-life stories of four DofE Award holders, in their own words. Hear how their DofE helped them overcome personal challenges, find focus and motivation and achieve things they never thought they would.
– If you’re a young person or a parent or carer, find out more about how you or your child can sign up to do their DofE – or speak to the DofE Manager or Leader in their school, college or youth organisation.
– If you’d like to run the DofE in your organisation, find out how.
– If you’d like to support the DofE so we can make a difference to more young people’s lives, please consider donating to the DofE charity.
– If you’re a young person struggling with your mental health, visit YoungMinds for help and advice.
