Our achievements have inspired us to be more ambitious and to set ourselves some challenging goals. Our starting point is the understanding that, if the DofE is good for the 300,000 young people taking part currently, then it is good for all the others not yet able to access DofE opportunities.
We are passionate about inspiring the next generation and creating a brighter future for them and their communities.
Our ambitions
- To increase the number of young people starting their DofE to 300,000 per year by 2016.
- To double the proportion of young people taking part from disadvantaged backgrounds.
- To ensure that at least half of all young people starting their DofE achieve Bronze, Silver or Gold Awards.
- To recruit, support and recognise more volunteers from diverse backgrounds, to extend our reach and enable more young people to achieve an Award.
- To expand and diversify the delivery partners we work with to extend our reach and increase numbers of young people who can take part.
- To use eDofE and DofE Business to increase accessibility to over 18s.
We hope you too feel inspired to get involved, support our work and create a brighter future.
