Gaisce<\/strong> \u2013 The President\u2019s Award is a self-development programme that encourages you to find your passion, get active and make a difference in your community! Gaisce is a direct challenge from the President of Ireland to young people aged 15-25 to dream big and realise their potential. There are three levels of Gaisce \u2013 Bronze, Silver and Gold. The more time and energy you give, the greater the reward! By taking part in Gaisce, you will take on exciting personal, physical and community challenges and develop new skills and new friendships.<\/p>\n

There are three levels to the Award programme, starting with Bronze and progressing to Silver or Gold, with the time and investment required increasing as the participant moves from Bronze towards the Gold Award. Students in Transition Year normally work towards their Bronze Awards, with students in later years engage with other awards, depending on their age. The Gaisce Awards challenges students in four areas over 13\/26 weeks:<\/p>\n
