Gaisce – The President’s Award is a self-development programme for young people which enhances confidence and wellbeing through participation in personal, physical and community challenges.

Gaisce is a direct challenge from the President of Ireland to young people aged 15-25 to dream big and realise their potential.

Gaisce is non-competitive, 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 over 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.
