FROM DISCONNECTION
TO CONNECTION
Young Australians are facing some of the toughest conditions in decades. Rising living costs, global uncertainty and limited job opportunities are leaving many young people feeling disconnected, uncertain and lacking a sense of belonging.
According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), youth unemployment for those aged 15–24 is at 10.1% – more than double the national average. Without support, too many young people risk being left behind
PCYC NSW’s Employability Programs focus on breaking down barriers and creating clear pathways to meaningful work – especially for those who need support the most.
Help us to give more youth access to Employment Programs including Job Ready, Stepping Up and Fit for Work
FROM UNCERTAINTY
TO STABILITY
In 2025 alone, PCYC NSW helped 515 young people across NSW gain job-ready skills, qualifications, confidence and access to long-term career pathways.
From resume writing and interview skills to nationally recognised certifications, our programs provide practical, real-world support that opens doors to employment.
SOCIAL RETURN ON INVESTMENT
Our programs don’t just change individual lives – they create measurable social good. Every $1 invested in PCYC NSW generates a $7.76* return for New South Wales through economic, health and social benefits.
An end-of-financial-year donation today can help another young person move from uncertainty to stability.
*The social return on investment calculation was completed by PCYC with the support of KPMG.

We welcome vulnerable young people to find a sense of belonging at our clubs.
We empower young people to develop job skills, confidence, and community connections to secure employment.
