Hawaiian Ride For Youth

Australia’s premier charity event for the prevention of youth suicide and depression.

The Hawaiian Ride for Youth is held annually in March across 4.5 days with riders covering over 700kms on their way from Albany to Perth to raise funds and awareness for Youth Focus. While cycling through towns in WA’s South West, Great Southern and Wheatbelt the riders visit high schools to engage with students on issues of youth suicide, depression, anxiety and self-harm.

The purpose of the Hawaiian Ride for Youth is to raise funds to support Youth Focus’ youth mental health services.

The vision of the Hawaiian Ride for Youth is to remove the stigma associated with mental health.

The Hawaiian Ride for Youth is an incredibly rewarding event to be involved with and it takes a large team of committed people to ensure that the event is a success year on year.

Over the last 19 years, the Ride has raised an unbelievable $24 million for Youth Focus, to assist the organisation in providing a range of early intervention and prevention services free of charge, aimed at supporting young people and their families to overcome the issues associated with suicide, depression, anxiety and self-harm.
