Campaign idea: Baljodh mentors other teenagers

Baljodh struggled to adapt after moving to the UK. Now he mentors other teenagers through their Duke of Edinburgh awards.

This story

After moving to the UK in 2011, Baljodh found settling into a new school difficult until he started the Duke of Edinburgh's Award in Year 9. The experience helped him build confidence, become head boy, and complete his Bronze and Silver awards before working towards his Gold in 2021. Today, he volunteers as an expedition assessor and leader, guiding young people through their awards at his former school and a gurdwara.
