Club Narooma has generously provided the use of its boardroom for the committee’s monthly meetings.
Over the next several months, the PCYC’s direction with activities and programs will be established with a club strategic plan being tabled for discussion and the establishment of monthly meeting dates and club goals.
A club business plan is also being developed for the establishment of sustainable programs on the Far South Coast.
If you would like to have input into activities in your area, please contact the PCYC.
At the meeting, police youth case manager Senior Constable Greg Curry discussed some exciting programs that have been and will be running over the next 12 months, including the South Coast Warriors Program, with plans for a trek in the Northern territory in 2016.
Programs are specifically targeted at youth at risk, who are generally referred by the Local Area Command of the NSW Police and must last a minimum of eight weeks with specific education, health and lifestyle components involved.
Many local businesses have been highly supportive of the PCYC and programs such as Greg’s running throughout the Far South Coast.
