Our Values

At the DofE, these four values underpin every aspect of our work, defining our culture, showing what we stand for and helping to describe the way we work.

I trust my colleagues, I create opportunities for others to learn and develop, I am positive and solutions focused, I learn from my experiences and that of others, and I celebrate achievements in all its forms.

I am a team-player and collaborate with others to find the best solutions, I am friendly and approachable, I value diverse perspectives and actively seek to understand and act on the insights and lived experiences of others.

The needs of young people are central to my decision making, I am optimistic, enthusiastic and open to new ideas, I’m agile in my approach and I make working and volunteering with DofE a fun experience.

I do what I say I will, I am tenacious about maintaining high standards and am always looking for ways to make things better, I willingly take on responsibility and I stand up for what I believe to be right.
