Project K is a youth development programme, designed to inspire 14-15 year olds to reach their full potential. Founded by New Zealanders Graeme Dingle and Jo-anne Wilkinson in 1996, the programme was developed as a catalyst for promoting positive change in teenagers. Through a 14-month programme consisting of three core components; Wilderness Adventure, Community Challenge and Mentoring, students learn about self reliance, teamwork, self confidence, perseverance and how to set and achieve goals. Based on leading research from educationalists and youth workers, Project K is run in participating schools and delivered through licensees across the country, keeping the focus community driven.
