Young Achievers Award
Community

The third theme of the Young Achievers Award is Community. Time to give something back!
To earn your third pin badge, you need to complete 3 tasks contributing to your local community between July and September. For each theme you will find there is one activity that has been set by VICTA that you need to complete. The other two activities are your choice.

The set VICTA community activity you are required to complete is…
Take part in a litter pick
You can start making a difference to the environment in your own community by taking part in a litter pick. You could ask your school or your parents to find out if there are any community litter picks you can join. Or, if you’d like to organise your own, Keep Britain Tidy have some really helpful guidance as part of their #LitterHero initiative. It’s important to keep safe while litter picking so make sure you read their guide before you start and organise your litter pick with an adult. Take photos as you go so you can share them as part of your Young Achievers Award.

Other Community activity ideas to tick off to earn your pin badge!
We’ve put together some activity ideas and opportunities for the Community theme below to help you get started. Don’t forget, if you’d like to come up with your own ideas, that’s brilliant too. Once you have completed 3 tasks, complete the evidence submission form at the bottom of this page so we can see what you’ve been up to.
