The adult volunteers who run the Award Programme in schools, residential facilities, correctional centres etc, are the critical link between us as an organisation and the over 8000 young people who take part in the Award Programme in South Africa. That is why they are central to our mission statement which starts "...with the assistance of adult volunteer leaders, is to empower young people..."
If you work with young people and would like to challenge them through involvement with The President's Award Programme, please be in touch with us by sending an email to info@presidentsaward.co.za and give us a little bit of information about the group that you work with and we will put you in touch with the correct person. You could - alternatively - call 046 6227273 to find out more.
If you are an existing Award Leader, please send us some reflections on your experiences with the young people involved with the Award Programme. We would love to share them with others through this website, in our annual publication, Horizons and in the International Award Association's biannual magazine, Award World.
