Awards

Youth Scotland offers a range of credit-rated awards that can act as a framework to record and recognise young people’s achievements.

Youth Scotland Awards

We have three different awards that children and young people can complete: the Hi5 Award, Dynamic Youth Award (DYA) and Youth Achievement Awards (YAA). All awards are credit rated and levelled on the Scottish Credit Qualifications Framework (SCQF), which means they can be compared to more formal qualifications such as those gained at college or school.
