Changing the stories of young Queenslanders

The Sunshine Lottery helps to fund PCYC Queensland’s youth development & crime prevention programs.

As a trusted and respected registered charity our staff and volunteers have been working to meet local community needs since 1948. Today, PCYC Queensland supports more than 100,000 members across 56 clubs from the Torres Strait to the Gold Coast and beyond.

Together we are building safer, healthier communities through youth development.

PCYC Queensland’s three pillars – youth development, crime prevention and community engagement – underpin all that we do. Approximately 95% of our clubs are in low socio-economic areas, with 60% in the top 50 high needs areas of Queensland.

You make the difference. Get involved, find out how or donate now.

Almost 90% of our work is funded through our supporters. PCYC Queensland recognises our work in supporting communities and addressing the issues many young people face is far from done. More support is needed. The proceeds of the Sunshine Lottery support us to continue to deliver initiatives that help to support Queensland communities, giving young people purpose, focus, motivation, skills and opportunities.

The more youth development programs we can deploy, the bigger effect we can have on crime prevention, enhancing communities and establishing the leaders of tomorrow.
