Duke of Edinburgh’s Award (DEA) is one of
the sixth key programs found in Vision Youth leadership training program. Since
1956, Duke of Edinburgh’s Award has been supporting adolescents aged from 14 to
24 to actively participate in activities that shape well-being. DEA is
worldwide recognized as an indicator of all-round personal development.
Therefore, Vision Youth encourages every Visioneer to complete the award, which
is beneficial to personal development as well as CV building. In Canada, DEA
was first introduced in 1963. Since then, more than 500,000 young participants
joined the award in different levels.
Founded in 2001, the Vision Youth
Leadership Program is designed to complement the regular school academic
curriculum to help our youth to develop life skills, which will prepare them
for a successful and rewarding future. We encourage civic participation and the
continuous development of physical, social, and leadership skills through a
holistic training approach.
We organize the program in an inspiring and
supportive environment that will help the participants to develop: self-confidence,
communication skills, public speaking, appreciation of nature and the
environment, social conscience, interpersonal and teamwork skills, leadership
qualities, personal responsibilities, political and social issues awareness.
Vision Youth is a not-for-profit
organization and is operated by volunteers.
