Through supporting participation, the charity wants to help young people recover from the devastating effects of the pandemic. Young people aged 16-24 have been worst affected by job losses as a result of the economic downturn from the pandemic, with tens of thousands of young people losing jobs and training placements.
Achieving a DofE Award improves young people’s chances of progressing in education or securing a job interview, the charity says.
In addition to funded places for disadvantaged young people, the fund will support online training for up to 3,500 youth workers to support places for disadvantaged young people. This includes senior managers, frontline managers and volunteers. Those involved in DofE licensed organisations are eligible for the training.
