KEY DATES Thursday 18th April 2024 Applications close Saturday 18th May 2024 KYLC Workshop at Canterbury-Hurlstone Park RSL Club (All trekkers MUST attend) 30th September – 11th October 2024 Youth Trek Being selected for the trek is a privileged opportunity to develop personal leadership skills based on the values our Kokoda veterans held dearly. These include personal discipline, mutual respect, trust, mateship, courage and self-sacrifice. Successful candidates should be prepared to act as a community volunteer in some way after they return. The opportunity to participate in a trek across the Kokoda Trail is a privilege akin to a $6,750+ scholarship. Participants should, therefore, understand that it is not a prize, a gift or a right – it is a privileged opportunity to develop personal leadership skills based on the values our Kokoda veterans held dearly – these include personal discipline, mutual respect, trust, mateship, courage and self-sacrifice. The trek itself is a physically demanding challenge. You will be required to be in adequate physical and medical shape and free of any medical conditions that may prevent you from completing such an arduous personal challenge. You will need to alert us of any potential health problems prior to the trek. The most important qualities for a successful pilgrimage are a sense of adventure, a positive attitude, a healthy body, an inquiring mind, an abundance of common sense and a good sense of humour. "Once in a lifetime, one I am so grateful to have been given and one that will forever be kept in my memory. I can honestly say this has been the most rewarding, informative and emotional experience of my life". The Kokoda Youth Leadership Challenge (KYLC) involves an arduous 10 day trek across the original Kokoda Trail in Papua New Guinea, presentations at significant battle sites and discussions on sacrifice, courage, mateship, endurance and leadership. It provides participants with a practical leadership experience based on the achievements and sacrifice of our diggers during the Kokoda campaign. KYLC Manager Brad Smith, said the leadership program provides a major contribution to the community by: Encouraging these young leaders to help motivate their friends to take a positive role in their community and, among other things, reduce youth crime rates; Creating a source of young leaders coming back into their community; and, Encouraging participants to work with local community leaders on a range of projects. The leadership program aims to create a greater awareness of the sacrifices of the diggers on the Kokoda campaign among our young people to ensure the traditions live on. At the same time, it instils in participants a commitment to community service, enhances their personal development by providing an opportunity for them to experience the same conditions under which our diggers fought and hopefully transform them for future leadership roles back in the community.
