Police & Community Youth Clubs (PCYC) or Police and Community Youth Clubs is a network of Australian non-profit, community organisations, founded in New South Wales. In some states such as NSW, they are constituted as an Incorporated Association.[1]
The mission of PCYC is to get young people active in life; develop their skills, character and leadership; and prevent and reduce crime by and against young people.[2] The organisation is community-based and involves the provision of low-cost structured activities to children and adults, aimed specifically at the underprivileged persons in the community. The clubs contain a wide variety of sports such as basketball, indoor soccer, weightlifting gyms, dancing, wrestling/grappling, boxing, martial arts, chess, and many other activities and hobbies. Different clubs may have different activities going on to one another. The PCYC has a range of over 66 clubs across the state.
