Youth and Community

PCYC Youth Management Teams (YMT) are a social and leadership development group for young people who wish to improve their leadership skills and to give back to and connect with their communities. YMTs meet regularly within the clubs, volunteer their time and establish and drive their own projects within the community.

Curry Knock Out (CKO) runs Monday during the school term from 3pm – 4pm.  The program is an opportunity for young males within the Cloncurry community to meet with local male role models. Participants learn how to be positively involved in their community, and to learn in different areas of life. CKO is an 8 week program that we run every term, the attendees begin by playing a sport, which changes each week. Afterwards, we provide all particpants with a healthy afternoon tea, which is followed by a presentation from a guest speaker. Each speaker has a different topic that they focus on. We have 8 key topics that we focus on each term covering everything from student role models, to drugs, cigarettes and alcohol, community policing, and also, alternative ways to combat stress and anxiety.
