Locations

In seeking to support regional communities with resources and removing barriers for young people, the JK Foundation works in towns across the Midwest. Each town is different and so are the programs and activities JKF runs.

Mullewa

The JK Foundation has supported partner agencies in Mullewa as well as run the Rising Saints workshop series to support the Mullewa FC U16s to improve well-being and grow as footballers and men. In 2025 we hope to work with the school with a School Engagement Support program and an embedded Youth Worker will be involved in a range of community activities, supporting young people and the community in an integrated way.

Kalbarri

Realising the gap in youth services in Kalbarri, we have been looking for ways to support and resource young people. Working with the Kalbarri Development Association and the Kalbarri Sport and Recreation Association, we have run after-school activities and plan a school holiday activity and hope to provide a range of youth services and activities in the future. Rock Solid will soon come to the school. The Foundation employs a part-time Youth and Program Worker in Kalbarri which is the key community youth work role in town.

Northampton

Early days in Northampton, but we have supported the Monday night community basketball program and hope to resource this more and run well-being workshops. Of course the Rams are close to our hearts and we support the Northampton Community Centre Basketball. We hope to bring Rock Solid to the school soon too.

Geraldton

With more resource available in Geraldton, the JKF has focused on supporting partners the West Coast Eagles and the City of Greater Geraldton, while running the Summer Footy program in February and March. Our Program Coordinator runs these activities while supporting staff and programs in our other towns.
