This milestone year was marked by new club openings, membership approaching 110,000 and special celebrations. From the opening by Police Commissioner William MacKay of the first Police Rotary Boys’ Club in a disused police lockup in Woolloomooloo on April 1 1937 to today, the bedrock of PCYC – the fundamental principles on which we are based – has been the nurturing of respect, commitment, resilience, integrity and citizenship. We aim to get young people active in life, develop their skills, character and leadership and reduce and prevent crime by, and against, young people. We provide a safe environment for youth with programs and activities which reduce youth crime and engage youth in the community on their own terms and in an ethical and environmentally and commercially sustainable way with dedicated and motivated staff and volunteers. PCYC is a company, limited by guarantee, which operates under the control of a board of directors.
