Doing their DofE gives young people the opportunity to experience new activities or develop existing skills. There are three progressive levels of programmes which, successfully completed, lead to a Bronze, Silver or Gold Award. Young people create their own DofE programme by choosing a Volunteering, Physical and Skills activity, going on an Expedition and, for their Gold only, taking part in a Residential activity. The DofE programme is balanced and develops the whole person – mind, body and soul, in an environment of social interaction and team working. Award holders say that participation develops: self-esteem self-confidence a sense of identity independence of thought and action respect and understanding of people from different backgrounds, cultures and walks of life a sense of responsibility new talents the ability to plan and use time effectively the ability to lead and work as part of a team.
