Gaisce – The President’s Award is Ireland’s National Youth Award. It is a direct challenge from the President of Ireland, Catherine Connolly, to encourage young people to realise their potential through a proven Positive Youth Development Programme that provides structure, support, and certification for non-formal learning experiences for young people aged 14 to 25. The Award inspires young people to flourish through challenge, engage with their communities, build self-belief and skills, embrace adventure and wellbeing, and be recognised for their achievements.

Gaisce Challenge Partners are organisations that offer opportunities for Gaisce Participants to complete one or more Challenge Area activities. These areas include Personal Skill, Community Involvement and Physical Recreation, all essential for earning a Gaisce Award. At Druid Padel, we facilitate activities for Gaisce Participants doing their Bronze Award. 

Druid Padel's Transition Year Programme offers 13 structured week Padel sessions for young people, particularly for students between 16 to 20 years old, in a fun, inclusive, and supportive environment.
