About Kokoda Youth Foundation

The Kokoda Youth Foundation (KYF) supports Australians by inspiring them to do extraordinary things. Through endurance events, youth programs and an outdoor education camp we challenge deeply held beliefs, allow limits and abilites to be explored, and provide opportunities for growth. KYF is the Spirit of Kokoda, embodying Courage, Endurance, Mateship and Sacrifice. These values take their origin from Australian soldiers who fought the Kokoda Track in Papua New Guinea during WWII. Still relevant today, KYF's central mission is to reignite these timeless values into our communities. KYF is a registered charity and Public Benevolent Institution, relying on fundraising, volunteer support, sponsorship and government funding.
