PCYC
is about young people.
Kids need things to do, and a safe place to do them.
PCYC gives young people a range of choices - to relax,
hang out with friends, get involved in a team sport or
any of the activities we run.
Getting Young People Active
With 59 clubs in NSW, there's a great range of activities
to get involved in, from sports like basketball, futsal,
wrestling, martial arts, or badminton to activities like
dancing, band nights, music, digital photography, and
more. Our Clubs also there to just "drop in",
with areas free to use and full of video games, TV, lounge,
and pool tables. Somewhere safe, and somewhere to be with
friends and have fun.
Developing Young Leaders
Young people learn to be leaders. A wide range of sport
options, music programs, life-skills, self-development
projects, homework clubs and more give kids the chance
to become leaders, and feel good about themselves. Many
Clubs now have young people active our Blue-Star youth
development program, and on the Club Management Committee.
Every year, two young people are elected from our Blue-Star
program and appointed to serve on the PCYC Board.
Protecting Young People
PCYC is a leading agency in the reduction & prevention
of crime, by and against young people. When it comes to
violence, young people are much more often a victim of
crime than the offender. So teaching self-protection and
building personal values & respect is so important.
Reducing crime is something we all care about. In PCYC,
our Police Youth Programmers stay in touch with the needs
of local young people. Often, they'll start new sports
& activities at the Club to attract young people.
Our popular breakdancing nights at PCYC Parramatta are
one example.
Mission
We get young people active in life;
We work with young people to develop their skills, character
and leadership; and
We prevent and reduce crime by and against young people |
