JK Foundation

We long to see young people in regional WA experience well-being, opportunity and flourishing. It is our dream that distance from Perth, social disadvantage and money are not a barrier to regional young people pursuing and achieving goals. We want to see regional young people with the resources, connections and access to social well-being programs and education they need to pursue their goals. This will make regional communities richer, safer and better places to live. Programs include: Sports Assistance Program to provide support through financial assistance, mentoring and pathway advice to help young people from regional areas (particularly the Midwest) to participate in competitions, training and trials as they pursue sporting goals. Youth engagement, sport and recreation programs that build community, connection and health. Workshops which develop health, well-being & character and create space for reflection, growth and give tools for navigating life. Mentoring and adult support providing rolemodels, someone to talk to and an ally as well as assisting with barriers to engage in sporting, educational or employment pathways. Supporting school attendance with in-depth before and in-school activities to assist at-risk young people to engage with school and thrive. Supporting other programs and projects that benefit local young people, through partnerships with like-minded organisations
