Community Activities

Part of the Kokoda Challenge Youth Program requires all participants to undertake community support activities where they volunteer their time to local not for profit organisations and events e.g. Landcare, PCYC, Surfing for the Disabled, the Salvation Army etc.

This component of the KCYP helps the participants to develop a sense of social responsibility and also provides opportunities for them to engage in public speaking and networking possibilities.

The 2009 Kokoda Kids returned from Papua New Guinea in September after walking the Kokoda Track, and are now embarking on this next phase of the Youth Program where they will give one day per month from November 2009 to July 2010.
