Kokoda Youth Foundation (KYF) is a registered Australian charity and incorporated association established on the Gold Coast in 2004. Our mission is to change lives through the Spirit of Kokoda. We support young people aged 8 to 17 through fully funded, adventure-based programs that build resilience, confidence, leadership and community connection.
We are inviting expressions of interest from values-aligned people who would like to join our volunteer Board of Management as a Director. Directors work collectively to guide KYF’s strategic direction and oversee organisational performance, financial sustainability, risk, governance and compliance. This is a governance and oversight role, rather than a day-to-day operational position.
We welcome candidates with a range of professional and lived experience, including governance, risk, legal, strategy, sustainable growth, fundraising, partnerships, youth development, education, child safety, people and culture, marketing or communications. Previous Board experience is valued but is not essential where candidates bring relevant expertise, sound judgement and a willingness to develop their governance capability.
The commitment includes six scheduled Board meetings each year, an annual Strategic Planning Forum, preparation and review of Board papers, contribution between meetings when required, and active support for KYF events and fundraising activities. Directors are appointed for a two-year term, subject to KYF’s Constitution and re-election arrangements.
This is an honorary, voluntary position and is not remunerated. Reasonable approved expenses incurred in the role may be reimbursed. Appointees must consent to act as a Director and Responsible Person, complete KYF’s Board Member Agreement, disclose relevant conflicts of interest and meet all applicable eligibility, screening and onboarding requirements.
KYF is committed to the safety and wellbeing of children and young people and welcomes candidates from a wide range of backgrounds and lived experiences.
