PCYC to benefit from Safer Streets funding

Umina PCYC will benefit from second-round funding from the Safer Streets Program, according to Federal Member for Robertson, Ms Lucy Wicks.

Ms Wicks said the program supported communities at the grass roots to help address crime and anti-social behaviour, and boost crime prevention initiatives to keep our streets safe.

"The PCYC at Umina already does a fantastic job supporting our youth with a wide range of programs like Time 4 Kids that contribute to community safety, and I'd like to commend them for their tireless work along with the Brisbane Water Local Area Command," Ms Wicks said.

"This funding boost will ensure the PCYC remains a vital hub for youth on the Peninsula.

"It's great news for our community and local families," she added.

The investment will allow NSW PCYC to undertake Project Booyah, a police run leadership and mentor program that uses adventure-based learning, resilience training and policing strategies to help young people make better life choices.

The 20-week early-intervention program for young people aged 14-17 years will be rolled out Umina and other parts of NSW, said Ms Wicks.

It has been running in Queensland since 2011, with almost 80 per cent of young participants re-engaging in education and 63 per cent of graduates gaining some form of employment or work experience as a result of the program.

Funding for the program had been drawn from the Proceeds of Crime Account, money taken from criminals and reinvested into prevention of further crime.
