PCYC empowers young people with the Courage to Change

Geraldton PCYC

The Commissioner of Children and Young People, Jacqueline McGowan-Jones was delighted to help kick start Youth Week celebrations at Geraldton PCYC.

The theme of Youth Week 2022 was 'Courage to Change', and on theme, the Commissioner of Children and Young People met a group of Geraldton PCYC safeSPACE™ participants, who shared their ideas about what changes would make Geraldton an even better place for children and young people.

Geraldton PCYC Centre Manager, Talya Quinn said, “Youth Week is a great opportunity for young people to connect and share their voice, and for us at PCYC to learn about changes they want to see in their community."
