PCYC is unique among youth organisations because it is the only one which is a partnership between the community and the NSW Police Force.

We work with the NSW Police Force youth command work to counter the impact of juvenile offending.

Our Police youth case managers’ approach has proven results and contributes towards reducing reoffending rates by 60 to 70 per cent.

Programs have to incorporate education relevant to the crime category on which the officers are focusing. An example of that would be a break and enter program: the education component could include a presentation from insurance companies on the impact of break and enters, a presentation from a victim, and discussion on crime statistics and dealing with the volume of what’s occurring in that area to help educate young people on the impact of their actions.

PCYC NSW is proud to be the largest provider of safer drivers education courses across the state. Part of our mission to empower and protect young people in NSW includes keeping them safe on our roads. Younger drivers face many challenges when learning the complex task of driving a vehicle. With their relative inexperience, they also face a higher risk of being involved in a crash.

The Safer Drivers Course aims to provide learner drivers with the knowledge they need to reduce road risks and prevent accidents by becoming a safe driver. As an Accredited Provider of the transport for NSW Safer Drivers Course, PCYC NSW know that our students will complete the course with a greater of understanding of how to be a safe P-plate driver.

Over the past 8 years, the Nations of Origin event has seen huge success. The 2019 tournament saw the engagement of over 1400 Indigenous and non-Indigenous young people from across NSW participating in the multi-faceted sport, cultural, education and leadership program.

Boys and Girls representing 22 Aboriginal Nations participated in Netball, Rugby League, Basketball and Futsal tournaments. 1400 players and over 300 event and team volunteers between the ages of 10 and 21 came together from across NSW to support the event. Teams were supported by over 300 volunteers that trained with teams in the lead up to and during the event in the capacity of supervisors, managers, coaches and trainers.

Nations of Origin empowers and motivates youth to celebrate Australia’s diverse indigenous culture and its deep impact on our history and their stories. Teams representing their Aboriginal Nations from all over NSW come together to participated in Netball, Rugby League and Futsal tournaments.
