Located in the Napranum Community Youth Centre in remote Far North Queensland, PCYC Napranum is the organisation’s fifth specifically Indigenous focussed club that forms part of a
state-wide footprint of 54 clubs providing services, programs and facilities for all ages.

PCYC Queensland Chief Executive Officer Phil Schultz is pleased to confirm PCYC Napranum is PCYC Queensland’s first community-funded club in the area.

“PCYC Queensland is proud to launch PCYC Napranum alongside The Western Cape Communities Trust (WCCT),” said Mr Schultz.

“This historic seven-year agreement outlines our commitment to improving wellbeing of individuals in Indigenous communities, and our partnership with WCCT allows us to support
and benefit young people and communities across Far North Queensland,” said Mr Schultz.

PCYC Queensland General Manager Indigenous Programs, Andy Cassidy, said the club would deliver activities and programs for children, young people, adults and elders, and be a
safe place for the whole for the Napranum community.

“Our clubs are recognised as community hubs, and we aim to create a connected, engaged and empowered community through PCYC Napranum,” said Ms Cassidy.

“PCYC Napranum will offer a daily breakfast club, sports and recreation programs, youth development and leadership programs, Youth Support Services and more,” she said.
