Kokoda Youth Foundation

The Kokoda Youth Foundation is an Australian not-for-profit organisation dedicated to changing lives through the Spirit of Kokoda—courage, endurance, mateship and sacrifice. We support young people aged 12–18 through mentoring, outdoor challenges, community service and wellbeing education.

Our programs include the Kokoda Challenge Youth Program, Digital Detox Program and On the Right Track. These initiatives help young people build resilience, confidence, leadership skills, healthy digital habits and stronger connections with their families, schools and communities.

Our fundraising events, including the Kokoda Challenge series, help fund these programs and enable us to provide early intervention and practical support to young people experiencing social, emotional or educational challenges.
