PCYC Burdekin
PCYC Burdekin opened in April 2011 and since this time has gone from strength to strength. A hub centre designed and built to centralise and integrate youth services, our club services the Burdekin region, which includes Ayr, Home Hill, Brandon, Clare and also Giru, doing just that!
With a focus on youth at risk and crime prevention, our programs such as our boxing sessions for all ages, help to bridge this gap.
PCYC Burdekin houses a number of office tenants, servicing the Burdekin community with essential services such as CORES, Uniting Care, Alliance Health, Feros Care and Flexi Qld.
We aim for our programs to be dynamic, fun and affordable. The PCYC staff provides quality care and are committed to ongoing improvement.
