- Explain why we have chosen these activities – flexible enough that all volunteering activities should fit in. Old categories were very prescriptive. Make it clear that some activities will fit into more than one category, this doesn’t matter and will often depend on the aim of the young person. This is outlined on pages 41 – 42 on the DofE Handbook. Give example on page 42 of Handbook about how First Aid training could be 3 months as a Bronze Skill for one person or training for 3 months and 9 months practical volunteering with St John Ambulance as a Gold Volunteering activity for another. You could use any example here: A Bronze DofE group attends a police course once a week to learn about the criminal justice system. As part of the course, the group are asked to design a project to raise awareness about personal safety in their community. A Gold DofE programme participant supervises the group and the police officer is the Assessor. The group deliver a number of assemblies to their peers as well as at the local primary school on how to stay safe.
