Our 6-month On the Right Track (OTRT) program is tailored for students aged 13-17 at risk of disengaging from their education. It helps them build real world skills through physical challenges, experiential activities and ongoing mentorship. Hear more from our recent participants….
Sam Grew her Confidence and Community Connection
What began as a fun adventure for Sam, turned into a powerful journey of personal growth, confidence and a new level of commitment to her school life and learning. Through Kokoda’s OTRT program, she was able to push beyond her perceived limits and unlock potential she didn’t know she had – a true testament to the program’s mission to inspire and help students develop a greater sense of accomplishment and purpose.
Riley was Rewarded for Pushing Beyond his Comfort Zone
“You’ve just got to push and get through it.” Riley said, when we asked him how he navigated this challenging, yet rewarding program
Riley was inspired to join OTRT after seeing the powerful impact the 6-month youth program had on his peers. Through a challenging three-day camp, including a tough mountain hike, he learned teamwork, resilience and that many obstacles are mental. Riley made new friends and learned that anything is possible when you apply the Kokoda Values of COURAGE, ENDURANCE, MATESHIP AND SACRIFICE.
You can help students like Riley and Sam grow both personally and academically, by helping Kokoda Youth Foundation provide more students with the support and tools they need to overcome any of life’s challenges.
