“I / we support Awards Aware because... the achievements and qualifications young people secure through youth awards, and the opportunities youth awards provide for learning and positive progression, need to be more widely understood, recognised, celebrated and valued. Youth awards provide non-formal learning programmes and experiences that equip young people with essential skills for life and work. They complement and supplement the learning provided through formal education. For some young people they will have a life-changing impact. ”

“I / we support Awards Aware because...at the YMCA we recognise that people learn in different ways and that Awards are an important part of the learning and accreditation map for young people. We offer a range of awards through local YMCAs that recognise young people's learning, volunteering and community engagement. ”
