Giving Philosophy
The Kokoda Youth Foundation approaches giving by directly delivering evidence-based, experiential youth development programs that are grounded in the Kokoda values of Courage, Endurance, Mateship, and Sacrifice. Their theory of change focuses on early intervention for at-risk young people, addressing key drivers of disengagement such as trauma, disrupted relationships, and lack of identity, while equipping participants with tools to make positive life choices. They believe in fostering personal growth, resilience, and a sense of purpose through challenging activities and ongoing mentorship.
