25.01.2022 FREE WORKSHOP HELPS LEARNER DRIVER SUPERVISORS ACCERLERATE A SAFE AND POSITIVE EXPERIENCE FOR YOUNG DRIVERS A free workshop aimed at putting young people on the road to success will be held for the parents and supervisors of learner drivers this month with practical advice to help make their charges safer drivers. Hosted by Singleton Council in partnership with the NSW Government’s Towards Zero initiative, the workshop will be held at Singleton Youth Venue on Wednesday 25 N...ovember 2020 at 5.30pm and will also include additional information and training for prospective mentors under the DRIVE program. The DRIVE program is a partnership between Singleton Council, PCYC Singleton and the Salvation Army’s Drive for Life that trains people to supervise young learner drivers who would otherwise be unable to tally the 120 hours necessary to graduate to their P plates. Since it was introduced in Singleton in 2019, more than 10 participants have worked with mentors to get their drivers licence and benefit from increased opportunities for employment and independence. Vicki Brereton, Council’s Director Organisation and Community Capacity, said drivers licences were often seen as a rite of passage for young people to open up a range of opportunities to travel for study and work, but there were limitations for many prospective drivers. And it can be daunting for parents and the supervisors of learner drivers to become driving instructors for their children or young people, she said. This two-hour workshop aims to give people the practical advice they need to teach their children to drive, covering the current driving rules and requirements for L and P plates, how learner drivers benefit from supervised on-road driving, and how you can help make learning to drive a safe and positive experience. This is also a great introduction for anyone who would like to be part of the DRIVE program, and has a few hours a week to help someone tally up the hours they need to get their licence. The workshop will run for three hours for prospective DRIVE mentors to provide all the information you’ll need to get involved. DRIVE volunteer Chris Giles has been a mentor for more than a year, and has helped three people get their licence who may not be on the road without his help. He’s about to take on another learner driver. If you have a spare couple of hours a week, I encourage anyone to do it, he said. It’s literally life changing for the people involved. A COVID Safe Plan is in place for the workshop and bookings are required. For more information about the workshop, the DRIVE program or to book a place at the workshop, contact Singleton Council on T 02 6578 7290 or email [email protected]

25.01.2022 The 2021 National Reconciliation Australia Week theme 'More than a word', resonates strongly with us. Reconciliation takes action and is a journey for all Australians as individuals, families, communities, organisations and importantly as a nation. PCYC NSW understands we have a role to play when it comes to reconciliation, and in playing our part we collectively build relationships and communities that value Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, histories, culture...s, and futures. Our 65 clubs operate on a number of traditional Aboriginal lands across NSW. We pay our respects to the Traditional Owners and all Elders past, present and emerging. #MoreThanAWord #NRW2021

01.01.2022 School has ended for another year and young people now face a 15.6% youth unemployment rate*. We don't need to tell you that times are hard. The Covid crisis and increase in youth unemployment means PCYC NSW needs to help young people more than ever. Recently we shared Harrison and Kirsty’s stories. They show how your generous donations as a supporter of PCYC can help turn around young lives. We know our Fit for Work program, run in partnership with NSW Police, makes a real... and practical difference. With your help, Fit For Work can continue to help young people who need direction, skills and mentoring now. Please invest in the future of our youth, because together we can help our young people survive and thrive. Thank you for supporting PCYC NSW and for making a difference. Have a safe and happy holidays. https://www.pcycnswdonate.charity/xmas *( , 2020) #charity #supportPCYCNSW #thankyou #unemployment #FitForWork
