PCYC NSW and the Greater Charitable Foundation have announced a partnership to better support young people in realising their full potential. 

The collaboration signifies a commitment to addressing youth disengagement and providing pathways to brighter futures. 

With a substantial contribution of $411,096, the partnership will see the implementation of four Fit for Work (FFW) programs over the next two years. These programs are designed for people aged 16-18 to address disengagement from their family, education and employment. 

Successful completion will help to reduce crime and ultimately lead to employment opportunities. The FFW initiative spans a ten-week period, aligning with NSW school terms, with participants attending three days per week. 

Activities within the program include resume writing, mock interviews, work placements, and other educational components designed to instil confidence and motivation to transition into employment or apprenticeships. 

CEO of the Greater Charitable Foundation, Anne Long, emphasises PCYC’s strong track record in providing effective programs for communities. 

“Together, we are not just changing individual lives. We are shaping the fabric of our future society, fostering a rising generation of resilient, skilled and engaged community contributors,” says Long.

By providing tools and opportunities for personal and professional growth to our young people, the partnership aims to create a positive impact. This not only applies to individual lives, but the community as a whole.
