What is the Governor– General’s Youth Award?

---

It's called the Governor General's Youth Award and there is nothing easy about it, but the rewards for participants and the nation are bountiful.

Whether at the Bronze, Silver or Gold level, participants set their own pace, achieving service, skill, physical recreation and adventurous journey points and adding positive life experiences along the way. Participants who complete the programme constitute an elite group of young people-for they have demonstrated community awareness and self-improvement under challenging conditions.

More than 8,000 young Bahamians have received a better start in life by testing their own strengths while helping others, by appreciating the true value of teamwork and the inner satisfaction of selflessness. Thousands more want to join. What about you?
