A transformative 12-month program that supports positive change in young people
APPLICATIONS NOW OPEN
KYF’s new Isurava Regional Reset Program is a structured, phased intervention for Ipswich and Gold Coast youth aged 12–17 who are at risk of disengagement or youth justice involvement.
We are also developing a program model for youth aged 8-11. Information on when referrals can be provided for these young people will be announced via our website and social media for families and referrers.
The program spans seven core phases:
- A detailed intake and assessment
- Seven-day residential Foundation Camp with therapeutic and challenge-based activities;
- 10-week intensive mentoring phase in the community
- Five-day wilderness growth camp
- Further 10-week transition period with weekly mentoring and community service to support education and behaviour change
- Four-day “Peak Experience” expedition
- Six months of ongoing support
Isurava is being delivered under the Queensland Government’s Regional Reset Program, as part of the Making Queensland Safer Plan. This program is funded by the Department of Youth Justice and Victim Support as an early intervention initiative for young people aged 8-17 years who are displaying a pattern of early criminal and/or anti-social behaviours, may be disengaged from school, and are at high risk of coming into contact with police and/or the court system.
We are now accepting referrals and applications for Isurava, with our first program launching in December 2025. This high-impact early intervention program will provide sustained support for both young people and their families.
If you, or a young person you know, could benefit from the Isurava Program, please complete an application form.
