More space means more fun and more engagement as Aurukun youth enjoy the million-dollar upgrade to their local PCYC.
Whether it is a deadly game of basketball, a youth leadership discussion, or simply a space to yarn and connect, the club’s expansion and addition of a dedicated youth space have allowed popular PCYC Aurukun programs to thrive.
“This club is a linchpin of the community, with the team offering young people a positive space to spend time making connections and participating in sport and other activities,” PCYC Queensland CEO Phil Schultz said.
“These upgrades will allow more young people to enjoy the great things our youth programs have to offer.”
The expanded youth space has already begun supporting programs such as After Dark, Club and Culture, Cadet Club, Team Up and Kang Kang Youth Leadership — all designed to boost confidence and resilience in Aurukun’s next generation.
Minister for Sport and Racing and Minister for the Olympic and Paralympic Games Tim Mander said the expanded youth space would make a positive impact on the lives of young people in Aurukun.
“Our PCYCs offer quality facilities and programs which provide transformative opportunities for people of all ages,” he said.
“These works are part of a $73.7 million investment in PCYCs across the state to enhance the lives of young people in Queensland by providing them with programs that offer structure and purpose, while keeping them active and engaged.”
