Australian Kookaburra Kids Foundation (AKKF) supports young people aged 8-18 years who are living in a family impacted by mental illness.
Our three core programs include: Camps, Activity Days, and online “Connect” sessions. Volunteers can choose which programs they participate in depending on their interest and availability.
When on program, AKKF volunteers engage with and support young people to participate in the activities, connect with their peers and have fun.
Our volunteer program provides an opportunity for people from diverse backgrounds to participate in programs that are engaging, fun and contribute towards the positive well-being of young people’s lives in their community.
In addition to the passion and energy our volunteers bring in supporting our young people, a key point of difference in the success of our program is in the flexibility we are able offer our volunteers in when and how they would like to volunteer.
