Youth Development
Launceston PCYC is a partnership between Police and community to provide early intervention for young people in the following target groups:
1) Youth at Risk of entering or re-entering the Youth Justice System.
2) Youth at Risk due to being disadvantaged, disengaged or vulnerable youth or due to facing other barriers to a positive futures.
3) Youth at Risk of poor health outcomes for example, due to a sedentary lifestyle; or poor leisure choices (eg drugs/alcohol); or other barriers to recreational fitness.
The programs are designed to be “early intervention” and include elements of adventure therapy, sport and recreation, and aim to build self confidence and resilience.
MOBILE ACTIVITY CENTRE (MAC): Recreational Outreach Program
The MAC provides recreational outreach for some of our most disadvantaged communities by providing opportunities for young people to learn to recreate with little or no equipment in places like Rocherlea, Mayfield, Ravenswood, and GeorgeTown on a regular basis. The great attendance is testimony to how the community values the MAC Program which is run by ex-police officer, Mark Brown.
