As the youth awards landscape evolves in exciting ways, an award scheme that’s been around since 2011 is having a revamp. Spring 2024 sees the launch of the Join in Award Scheme, or JAS, a refreshed version of JASS, the Junior Award Scheme for Schools.
Designed as an entry-level award for children and young people, the Join in Award Scheme is for anyone who might enjoy and benefit from using it. It’s a self-guided way to encourage and record a range of activity and celebrate personal achievement. JAS also works well with older pupils with support needs and with adults who have learning difficulties.
