DOFE
Don't let others decide for you. Prove to yourself what is in you!
What is DOFE
DOFE is a challenge for everyone from 13 to 24 years old. Discover your strengths (and maybe even weaknesses) and experience things that will push you. Embark on a journey that will show you what you're really made of.
You choose the activities you enjoy, from three areas: movement, skill and volunteering. You spend an hour a week on those. You're also going to be expeditions with friends. If you can handle everything, you'll get a certificate that'll get you fired. DOFE is for everyone, so join in!

DOFE brings young people independence, creativity, improved physical fitness and the importance of helping others and the community.

We want to support DOFE
