Congratulations to PCYC Southern Highlands, who are a recipient of a $10,000 grant from the Southern Highlands Community Foundation. The $10,000 will go toward the PCYC's 'Youth at Risk Job Ready' program, an early intervention program preparing at-risk youth for sustainable local employment. PCYC Southern Highlands is located in Mittagong and was established in 2015. Since then, it has lived up to their goals of empowering young people to reach their full potential through engagement and partnership with the NSW Police and their local community. PCYC Southern Highlands is a favourite with locals due to their wide range of quality programs, which allows children and young people the opportunity to have fun while encouraging physical and mental health, and building skills and friendships. Programs such as driver education courses, school holiday programs, police run community programs and sports such as gymnastics, boxing and pickleball. It is a safe and welcoming place for all. The Southern Highlands Community Foundation grant is very well deserved, and PCYC's employment program will have a positive impact on local youth.
