THE GOLD PROJECT
The Gold Project, completed only at Gold level, aims to broaden participants' horizons through involvement with others in an unfamiliar setting.
Participants have the opportunity to share a purposeful experience with people who are not their usual companions and work towards a common goal, set out by the participants themselves. Through the Gold Project participants will meet new people, explore life in an unfamiliar environment, develop new skills and, hopefully, have a life changing experience.
