The Kokoda Challenge Youth Program (KCYP) is a program which has been developed to help young people who are at a crossroads in their lives and require an opportunity to help realise their full potential.

The KCYP is a 12 month commitment - the first 20 weeks consists of training activities and camps which develop physical fitness and prepare participants for the Challenge of a lifetime: walking the Kokoda Track in PNG or undertaking the Australia based Kokoda Kids Adventure Challenge.

This life changing experience is followed by a further 6 months community support where participants regularly volunteer their time to local not for profit organisations and events eg. Gold Coast Pet Expo, Police Citizens Youth Club and Salvation Army.

The KCYP is about providing the opportunity for young people to learn the skills and qualities that matter in life: including discipline, tolerance, self worth, team work, purpose and leadership. The program uses the spirit of Kokoda to teach the younger generation the value of endurance, courage, sacrifice and mateship.
