The Kokoda Challenge fundraising event series is made possible thanks our army of volunteers. All money raised through Kokoda Challenge events fund Kokoda Youth Foundation’s life-changing youth programs, which are offered to young Australians free of charge. By volunteering at the events, you’re directly helping make a difference to the next generation.
We need hundreds of hands on deck to help us deliver the Kokoda Challenge in the Sunshine Coast, Brisbane, Gold Coast and Sydney, each year. Before and during our event weekends, our amazing volunteers assist with the following roles:
- Compiling event packs
- Event pack collection
- Track marking
- Setting up the event village
- Sorting and handing out medals
- Preparing food
- Manning checkpoints
- Helping with logistics
- Running merchandise tents
- …and loads more.
Volunteer Benefits
Many of our crews return year after year to support the Kokoda Challenge, creating a strong tradition of service and camaraderie. The Kokoda community is a warm, welcoming group of people who volunteer to give back, connect with like-minded individuals, and motivate teams when the journey gets tough. Volunteering also offers the chance to enjoy the great outdoors and keep fit, while being part of something truly meaningful.
