Dear Colleagues,
Applications for the 2017 Kokoda Youth Leadership Challenge (KYLC), organized by the RSL & Services Clubs Association, open on 1st February 2017. All applications must be received at the Association Office by Friday 28th April 2017.
This is the thirteenth year of the KYLC, and over that period, 360 outstanding young people have completed the Challenge and emerged stronger, more focused, more determined, and with much greater knowledge of the bravery and sacrifice of the Australian troops who defended our nation from Japanese invasion. All return with a real commitment to give back to their country and their local community.
The leadership program aims to create a greater awareness of the sacrifices of the Diggers on the Kokoda campaign among our young people - to ensure the traditions live on. At the same time, it is a very valuable leadership development program for younger emerging talent in your team, instilling in participants a commitment to their colleagues and enhances their personal development by providing an opportunity for them to experience the same conditions under which our diggers fought. It is a transformational experience which encourages future leadership roles not only as part of your team but also in the wider community.
Trek #1, the “Club Industry Trek”, is designed for younger staff of Clubs, and companies who work in the Club industry, to enable them to build ongoing relationships with colleagues across the sector. This Trek is on 7-18 August 2017. Participants can be up to 35 years of age, as long as they are fit and healthy to cope with the rigours of the Trek.
2017 will mark the 75th Anniversary of the Kokoda Campaign and it will be a very significant year for Clubs, Associations and Companies to be involved in the various commemoration activities, including the Kokoda Youth Leadership Challenge.
NOW ! is the time to start the process, appoint the Selection Committee, determine your selection criteria, and open discussions within management about potential candidates. For all KYLC information and the application processes please either contact at marketing@rslservicesclubs.com.au or on the office phone 02 9233 2624 or read more by clicking here !
I look forward to your participation in the 2017 KYLC.
Kind regards,
Garrie Gibson
Chief Executive Officer
