Gaisce - The President's Award

Gaisce – The President’s Award is a self-development programme for young people between 14-25 in Ireland, enhancing confidence and wellbeing through participation in personal, physical and community challenges. Gaisce is a direct challenge from the President of Ireland to young people to dream big and realise their potential. Gaisce is non-competitive, and participants are encouraged to choose their own activities and goals with the support of a trained, adult President’s Award Leader (or PAL). The Gaisce programme is delivered by 1,500+ PALs working and volunteering in a variety of organisations across Ireland. There are three levels of Gaisce – Bronze, Silver and Gold. The more time and energy participants give, the greater their reward! At Gaisce, we are focused on, and driven by, the following core values: Empowerment Making a difference, effecting change and enabling young people to shape their own path to self-discovery. Inclusion & Equality Every person has the opportunity to grow their potential through equality of access, participation and outcomes. Respect Valuing people equally, recognising diversity, and ensuring everyone is treated with dignity. Excellence Making an impact through pursuing the highest standards, operating with integrity and in a transparent manner.
