Approved & Recognized

The Duke of Edinburgh's International Award.

EOS is a licensed Award Center for the world's leading youth achievement award — challenge, service, and self-direction, recognized worldwide.

A global standard since 1956.

Founded in 1956, the Award now engages more than a million young people across 140+ countries. It rewards sustained effort rather than a single test — the initiative and resilience selective universities look for.

Four pillars.

01

Service

Volunteering that contributes to the community.

02

Skills

Developing a talent or practical ability.

03

Physical Recreation

Building fitness, health, and resilience.
