About YouthAdvance Australia
YouthAdvance has a long-standing association with The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award Australia. A number of our team members have either completed their Award or acted as Award Leaders or Assessors for various organisations.
We also coordinate the Adventurous Journey component for many schools and organisations around Australia. YouthAdvance has also developed services and strategies to support not only organisations that run the Award but also aid in engaging, retaining and mentoring young Australians.
