North Sydney Police, about Police Youth Citizens Club and homeless on lower north shore.

North Sydney PCYC was established in 1937 and was a partnership forged with the community via Rotary to provide young people with a safe and positive alternative to the streets.  Today there are more than 60 clubs and centres throughout the state, with more than 85,000 members and more than 140 different activities.                    Senior Constable Jodie Young has been a police officer with the NSW Police Force for 10 years and is currently the Police Youth Case manager at North Sydney PCYC.  Police work closely with other agencies, like the Dept of Community Services and education, taking a holistic approach to the needs and problems of each young person.   PCYC means less truancy, less crime, and more young people feeling better about themselves and more confident and socially capable.   The facilities are a centre for all ages and the community.   All our clubs offer fun, fitness and friendship, where all can enjoy a wide range of sports, arts and recreational activities.
