20.01.2022 Support vulnerable and at-risk young people this festive season. Vulnerable and at-risk young Queenslander’s are even more disadvantaged as a result of the global pandemic. This festive season we need your support to continue providing mentoring, essential programs and a safe environment to more than 50,000 young people each year. Angel was bullied all through school, and eventually, she gave up and dropped out of both mainstream and flexi-schooling. Disengaged, suffering fr...om low self-esteem and mental health issues, and struggling to interact socially even with her peers, Angel’s future was extremely uncertain. PCYC Queensland continues to support Angel and her dream, and she has recently completed work experience for her certificate in one of PCYC Queensland’s 100+ Outside School Hours Care services. Your donation will make the difference, donate now and change the story of a young Queenslander. https://donate.pcyc.org.au/ #PCYCQLD #Charity #Donate #OurStories
