The International Award is an exciting self-development scheme available to young people aged 14-25 from all over the world and from all backgrounds. It is a voluntary, non-competitive programme of practical, cultural and adventurous activities, designed to equip them with life skills that make a difference to themselves, their communities and the world in general. The Award offers a challenge and encourages young people to undertake exciting, constructive, challenging and enjoyable activities in their free time. More than 5 million young people from over 100 countries have been motivated to undertake a wide variety of activities under the Award scheme.

The programme has 3 levels of Award:  Bronze (ages 14+), Silver (ages 15+) and Gold (ages 16+)

There are 4 sections to each of the Awards (5 for the Gold Award):
