Youth Achievements

Each project within Raising Aspirations and Achievement are to be linked to accredited awards called Youth Challenges and Youth Achievement Awards.

The Youth Challenges and the Youth Achievement Awards are an activity-based approach to peer education.

The Awards are designed to help develop more effective practice by encouraging young people to progressively take more responsibility in selecting, planning and leading activities that are based on their interests.

The peer group model encourages the development of a wide range of life skills through a flexible and informal approach.
