Have you heard of the Duke of Edinburgh's Award?
This video shows some young people from Essex setting out on their Bronze DofE award. They met as strangers, but when they headed out on a 2 day trek they were 100% there for each other.
This is just one amazing example of how the Essex Youth Service can help you get involved and get more out of life.
