The Join in Award Scheme, JAS, is an entry-level award for anyone who might enjoy and benefit from using it. It’s a self-guided way to encourage, capture and celebrate personal achievement.

Designed as a ‘first award’ for children and young people, JAS also works well with older pupils with support needs and with adults who have learning difficulties.

The Join in Award Scheme can be used in schools, outdoor centres, home education, as well as residential, family and youth work settings. Its freedom and flexibility to choose activities encourages a wide range of learning experiences. Use it to bring out the best in participants and start them on their awards journey.

The Green Team took over the running of the JAS Award in January 2025 which was previously administered by Awards Plus.

“It’s a framework for capturing achievement and celebrating the successes of our pupils. It has increased engagement, provided motivation and given them ownership over the way they keep track of their achievements.

It creates a thread between outreach and in-school support, allowing us to work more closely together, to better meet the needs of the children we are improving the life chances for.”
