BellTIME 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 choose their own activities and goals with the support of a trained, adult President’s Award Leader (PAL). The Gaisce programme is delivered by over 1,500 President’s Award Leaders 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 the reward.
