Duke of Edinburgh's
Award
As the world’s leading youth achievement award, DofE equips young people aged 14 to 25 with the skills, experience and confidence to successfully navigate adult life.
Thanks to the support of the Pears Foundation, hundreds of Jewish young people enrol for their Kosher DofE through JLGB each year from schools, youth groups, synagogues and communities across the UK.

Bronze
Bronze is the first step on your journey. Along the way you will discover skills you never knew you had and learn others that will be with you for life. JLGB runs the DofE across the whole of the Jewish community for pupils in Year 9 directly delivering our Kosher provision in all Jewish schools across the UK. Anyone wishing to take part that doesn't go to a Jewish school can join one of our Community Open Groups in partnership with community centre and synagogues up and down the country.

Silver
The Silver Award is the perfect opportunity for those in Year 10 to take part in an experience that is described by many of our participants as life-changing. There is no requirement to have already done or completed your Bronze Award, and Silver is the perfect opportunity to try something you have always wanted to do through the Volunteering, Physical, Skills or Expedition section. The Silver Expedition is one day longer, maximising the fun!
Gold
As soon as you turn 16 you can get started on the last and most prestigious level of the DofE. Gold is the ultimate challenge and in recognition of that, completion will result in a once in a lifetime invitation to receive your Award at St James' Palace! There is no requirement to have already done or completed your Silver Award and achieving your Gold DofE should not be underestimated. DofE is valued so highly by universities and employers it is often the first thing they will look for on a UCAS form or CV.
