What an incredible long weekend out at Kokoda Park! 🏕️

We had the pleasure of hosting an amazing group from Horizons Unlimited for their Premier Overland Adventure Travel Event for Motorcyclists & Travellers - a community built for people who love exploring the road less travelled! 🏍️

The weekend was packed full of inspiring presentations hosted through our camp facilities, fun outdoor activities with evenings spent camping under the stars.

HONOURING THE ANZAC SPIRIT

This ANZAC Day, we pause to remember and honour the service and sacrifice of all who have served, and those who continue to serve our nation today. Their courage, endurance, mateship and sacrifice define the enduring ANZAC spirit.

At Kokoda Youth Foundation, these same values guide everything we do. Inspired by the legacy of the Kokoda campaign, we are committed to passing these principles on to the next generation - ensuring they continue to shape strong, resilient and compassionate young Australians.

NOTRE DAME ARE ON THE TRAINING TRAIL 👣
Students from Notre Dame College are in full training mode for our Kokoda Challenge on the Sunshine Coast 💪 In 3 weeks' time, their teams will walk in the footsteps of our 1942 Kokoda veterans, honouring the legacy of courage, endurance, mateship and sacrifice. For Notre Dame, our Kokoda Challenge is becoming a powerful school tradition. This year, the College have entered their Year 7 and 8 cohorts because they believe it is helping shape a school culture of resilience and teamwork. In a recent article, Principal Dan McShea shared: "When students and teachers step outside the classroom and into a shared challenge, something shifts. Conversations deepen, encouragement flows, and real connections are built. It’s in these moments — muddy, tough, and unforgettable — that young people learn they’re capable of more than they thought possible."

We’re so proud to see Notre Dame College, and many others, embracing the Challenge this year to build a lasting legacy of resilience, camaraderie and character.

REAL STORIES > REAL IMPACT ❤️🖤

Since 2004, the Kokoda Youth Foundation has impacted the lives of over 1,300 youth program graduates — creating a powerful ripple effect through their families, schools and communities.

This week, we had the privilege of reconnecting with several of our recent graduates. Hearing their stories was a powerful reminder of why we do what we do - helping young people move from unproductive paths to positive futures grounded in the Kokoda values of courage, endurance, mateship and sacrifice.

🕺 Nick shared that he had always struggled to make friends. Through our program, he built the confidence to start conversations and step outside his comfort zone. Today, he has strong friendships and a new belief in himself that carries into every part of his life.

✈️ Adam, now in his final year of school, told us how he once channelled his energy into poor choices that frequently got him into trouble. Since doing OTRT and KCYP, that same energy is driving him toward his goal of becoming a pilot with Qantas.

🚩 Kathryn spoke about how she struggled with self-doubt. Our OTRT program helped her complete the 48km hiking challenge and realise she is capable of far more than she imagined - uncovering leadership strengths that contributed to her being appointed school captain this year.

📽️ These are just a few of the many stories of transformation from our fully funded youth programs and we can't wait to share their stories and more, via video in the coming months.

For young people who are struggling, the Kokoda Youth Foundation can be part of the solution - with our programs freely accessible to any young person keen to make positive change.

We remain a critical lifeline for Kokoda Kids but we really need your support today to help us change more young lives tomorrow.
