Connecting young people

Pcyc Burnie

who are we?

For over 65 years, Burnie PCYC has been a place where young people and the community come together to grow, learn and connect. We are a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to providing affordable programs that build confidence, resilience, and leadership skills, while also opening pathways to education and employment.

Our signature program, Operation Resilience, has supported generations of young people across the North-West Coast, offering long-term opportunities to develop teamwork, communication, and problem-solving skills in a safe and positive environment.

Burnie PCYC adopts a business model of low-cost, sustainable programming which is not dependant on the sporadic availability of funding grants. The business model provides for long term consistency of delivery.  Many of today’s club attendees are the sons and daughters of parents who have also benefited from opportunities provided over the years by Burnie PCYC.

Whether you’re looking to get involved, take part in a program, or support our mission, Burnie PCYC is here to make a difference.

  • "It gave me a purpose, I was struggling with my PTSD and the boxing program with people who have also been in the service really helped me. Being apart of the program makes you happy."
