Throughout the year, many of our Members visit outside organisations who play a part in our Community. This week, our 'Youth Director' visited the Police Citizens Youth Club (PCYC) in Falcon Street, North Sydney, where he was met by the new Manager, Daniel. A Tour of the facility followed, together with Daniel relating the many Programs they run for the benefit of our local Youth.
The North Sydney PCYC has over 2,000 Club Members. Its programs draw from not only local residents but organisations that Rotary knows, such as Phoenix House and Taudamunde.
Throughout the year PCYC work in partnership with the staff, upon activities and events including:
Blue Light Disco’s
Time for Kids Fundraiser
Regular meetings with Club Manager, staff and committee members.
Blue Star Camps
Police Crime Category Programs
