The four pillars of the Programme, skill development, physical recreation, community service and the adventurous journey, change the youths' perception about themselves and their world and it teaches them about vital issues such as health, political and social life, as well as the environment.
Completion of the Programme also equips the individual for further training and fulfilling work. As the youth integrate the values of the Programme into their lives, they become empowered, believing that they can turn their dreams into realities. Empowered youth can make informed choices and are less likely to compromise their future.
The President's Award can be justifiably proud of the part the organisation has played in bringing about these changed lives since 1983.
