Programs

JK Sports Assistance Program

The JK Foundation’s Sport Assistance Program’s aim is to reduce the barriers experienced by regional young people in pursuing pathways in sport. This can come in the form of assisting with travel costs, coaching and mentoring or assisting with other financial barriers that regional young people experience in engaging in sport. Assistance ranges from contributions towards regional representative opportunities, fuel and travel assistance and ongoing scholarships with mentoring and coaching. Apply here.

JK Youth Programs

Working with other local youth organisations, the JK Foundation supports and runs programs where young people have fun, get active, experience community and connection and link with role models and mentors. Footy and basketball are faves, so connect with JKF staff for more details.
