Dear Young Person,
DUKE OF EDINBURGH AWARD SCHEME
OPEN EVENING FOR YEAR 9 STUDENTS AND PARENTS
THURSDAY 8 JULY 2010 – 7:15PM
Did you know that Nunthorpe Youth and Community Centre operates the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme?
People do the Award for lots of different reasons but the most important reason for getting involved is because you will enjoy it – let’s face it – there’s no point in doing the award if you don’t have some fun along the way!!
Everyone gets different things out of doing the award but some common benefits are:
- Helps your career – the award makes a positive statement on your CV
- You make new friends
- New challenges and adventure in your life
- New skills and interests
- Improved fitness … … … and ultimately an Award!!
- A trip to Buckingham Palace, London or Holyrood Palace, Edinburgh if you go all the way to Gold!!!!
The award is a four-section programme divided up into three progressive levels:
- Bronze (for those aged 14 and over)
- Silver (for those aged 15 and over)
- Gold (for those aged 16 and over).
Interested? Well come along with your parents / guardians and find out more at our open evening on Thursday 8 July 2010, 7.30pm at Nunthorpe Youth and Community Centre.
We’re looking forward to meeting you.
