The Achieve programme is one of 8 programmes run nationally.

4. Our History

9. What are The Prince’s Trust Achieve Clubs?
The Prince's Trust Achieve club is a personal development programme for young people aged 11 – 19.
The Achieve programme helps young people to feel better about education and develop the skills and confidence they need to get where they want to go.
In an Achieve club, young people can learn new skills, work as a group on projects they care about and achieve a qualification.

It targets young people who need some extra motivation and a new approach to help them get excited about learning again. Achieve aims to re-engage young people in education by ensuring learning becomes accessible, valid, relevant and attractive.
