The JK Foundation exists to bring resources and reduce barriers to achieving goals for young people in regional WA, particularly the Midwest. We collaborate with communities and organisations to identify needs and gaps and seek ways to resource and meet those, improving access to well-being programs and resources and pathways for disadvantaged regional communities. We want to see regional young people with the resources, connections, and access to social well-being programs and education they need to pursue and their goals.
Programs support school attendance and engagement, community development and youth well-being through Youth Workers employed into towns in regional WA. We operate in towns where many others will not and support enables the employment and housing of these vital staff.
By supporting and partnering with the JK Foundation, you will directly impact the lives of young people in regional WA, particularly the Midwest, Murchison and Gascoyne, by ensuring that they have a mentor and caring adult in their town who assists them with school engagement and well-being and having tools to thrive in life. You become a crucial part of our team, enabling the activities and impacts that enrich and grow the young people of regional WA.
