FAQs

  • Who can go on beyondme trips; is there an age limit?

    Our organization is essentially targeted at the 15-25 age group; those who are still on a journey of self-discovery and looking to make a contribution to the world at large. Having said that we don't place age restrictions on people joining us. We have had many people over the age of 40 on both our Kokoda Challenge and on trips to Africa. However our priority is always for the emerging generations.

  • How are the leaders of trips, such as Kokoda, selected?

    We take the welfare of young people at beyondme extremely seriously. All of our trek leaders provide references as to their suitability to work with young people, as well as undergoing police/DOCS checks. In addition all of our trek leaders have experience working with young people in other roles, as volunteers or employees.

  • Can I receive a tax deduction for my giving with beyondme?

    Our Kokoda High School Project is our tax deductible giving presently, as we are partnering with CAF. While beyondme is a non-profit organization, we are a new organization and have not yet been approved for tax-deductible status with the federal government. At this stage we have had no indication as to when this may be approved.

  • How is beyondme funded?

    We receive funding through a variety of sources. Our supporters club allows everyday people to contribute to our operations and administration. We receive corporate support from several organizations, with both finance and services provided. We also have a tax deductible partnership with CAF for our Kokoda High School Project.
