Learn more about our incredible Challenge Partners who are supporting Gaisce Participants with their Challenge Areas, and how to become one.

What are Gaisce challenge partners

Gaisce Challenge Partners are organisations where Gaisce participants can complete one or more of their Challenge Area activities. For each Award level, participants must undertake Challenge Area activities that fulfil Personal Skill, Community Involvement, Physical Recreation and Adventure Journey requirements.

Challenge Partners support participants by providing opportunities for them to fulfill the requirements of one or more of their Gaisce Challenge Areas. In some instances, they can act as activity supervisors who sign off on a participants’ engagement with the activity or experience. These partnerships enrich the Gaisce experience by diversifying the opportunities available to participants.

What applies to your organisation? *

Challenge Partners provide activities or programmes that fulfill the requirements of one or more of the Gaisce Challenge Areas (Personal Skill; Community Involvement; Physical Recreation) for at least one of the Award Levels (Bronze, Silver, or Gold).

For example, the Bronze Award involves 1 hour per week in each of the Challenge Areas, for 13 weeks. Bronze Award participants are also required to do an additional 13 weeks of one of these activities, whichever one they like.
