Fundraising can seem difficult when you haven't done it before, but we're here to help!

All profits from the Kokoda Challenge go back into providing fully funded youth programs, enabling young people to reach their potential regardless of their background and circumstances.

Every dollar raised and donated to Kokoda Youth Foundation through the Kokoda Challenge goes towards providing fully funded youth programs for disengaged teens at no cost to families involved. By removing financial barriers, we are able to impact the lives that need it most.

As a not-for-profit, your participation in our events and the support of our donors ensures we can continue impacting young Australian lives.
