Duke of Edinburgh's Award
Young people on a Youth Discovery Working Holiday at High Peak Estate
If you are currently completing a Duke of Edinburgh’s Award we have a range of opportunities at bronze, silver or gold level.
Volunteer
There are lots of opportunities for you to volunteer with the National Trust in a variety of different roles. Whether you are getting your hands dirty with outdoors conservation work, guiding people round a historic place or helping out at an event, we could have an opportunity for you.
It may be possible for you to develop a wide range of skills whilst volunteering with the National Trust. From archaeology to IT, fence-building to photography - the possibilities are endless.
- Contact your local place to find out about what roles are available or search for an opportunity
Gold residential
Every year hundreds of gold participants book a National Trust Working Holiday to complete their residential. If you are under 18 you can book onto one of our Youth Discovery Working Holidays, offering you the opportunity to enjoy the Working Holiday experience with people your own age, and if you are 18 or over you can join one of our other Working Holidays.
Getting outdoors
As one of the biggest landowners in England, Wales and Northern Ireland it’s likely that if you are interested in outdoor activities like mountain biking, walking, orienteering, surfing, sailing and so on, you could be doing it on our land.
Expeditions
Why not plan your expedition between National Trust properties using our network of bunkhouses and campsites as your base?
