Delivering the Duke of Ed Framework

Become a Duke of Ed Centre

Contribute to developing our next generation of leaders by delivering the Duke of Ed Framework.

We know the classroom is not the only place for learning, which is why The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award is dedicated to helping young people realise their passions and develop important life skills through a broad range of activities. Through its non-formal learning opportunities and Framework, The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award provides a foundation for young people to thrive – now and in the future.

If your organisation brings together young people between the ages of 14 and 24, whether it be as a school, youth centre, employer, or other type of organisation, you can contribute to developing our next generation of leaders by delivering the Duke of Ed.

"As a Duke of Ed Leader, I love the rich relationships that I build with students as result of their participation in the Framework."
