Engaging "at risk youth " and providing community connecting for vulnerable kids will benefit the city of Wyndham. Providing mentoring and empowering youth to make smart and safe choices. Providing a platform for safe and competitive boxing to create young leaders that may go on to represent Australia.

PCYC has received an expression of interest from a number of interested youth wanting to participate. We're limited by our lack of funding and resources. If successful we can provide assistance, support and pathways for youth in Wyndham. Creating leaders for the future. We have a zero tolerance for community violence.
