What is IAYP?
The International Award for Young People (IAYP), based on the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, encourages 14–25-year-olds to achieve personal excellence through skill-building, service, and adventure.
Why Schools Love It
It’s not just about trekking. IAYP creates young citizens with leadership, self-discipline, and service mindsets — skills that go far beyond the curriculum.
“We saw quieter students step up as trek leaders. The program builds character, not just CVs.” – Mr. Thomas George, IAYP School Coordinator, Pune
