What is livALIVETM
livALIVE™ is a newly created mobile division of Police & Community Youth Centres (PCYC) creating youth spaces in partnership with local government, schools, social agencies, community groups and businesses.
While the flexible nature of livALIVE™ means different activities are offered to different regions and audiences, there are certain foundation elements that remain fixed, these are: road safety, drug and alcohol awareness, training and education, social engagement, leadership development and entertainment.
livALIVE™ staff operate from a 3.5 ton truck filled with equipment and deliver “on-demand” programs where and when they are needed. Youth Spaces can be quickly created in both outdoor and indoor places and fixed facilities, such as school halls and recreation centres, are also used to deliver livALIVE™ programs.
livALIVE™is currently being piloted in the City of Belmont and the City of Swan. Thanks to funding from Variety WA, the McCusker Charitable Foundation and Telethon, the first two trucks are due for completion by the end of March and will be equipped with a driving simulator, portable skate ramp and music and lighting equipment amongst other things.
The Programs
Programs delivered by livALIVE™ include (but are not limited to):
- Community Cycling Education Training (CCET) – road and traffic safety plus lessons on riding and bike maintenance

- School Drug Education and Road Awareness (SDERA)

Mentoring and counselling on a personal and/or family bases is all part of the overall case management provision. However, livALIVE™ does not directly provide all services. Instead we work in close relationship with other not-for profit and government agencies to ensure young people receive the best possible services from organisations that are experts in their field.
