How PYC is braking the cycle
We were delighted to host Rebecca Holland recently who spoke on how the PYC is "Braking the cycle (sic)" for so many young people by the program to help the disadvantaged young get their mobility and driving licence which is a critical factor in entering the workforce and becoming a good citizen.
Rebecca's program is taking root but there is a dire need for adult volunteers to help the kids get their practice hours up. So if you are interested and able to help a youngster please get in touch with Rebecca or her team members at the PYC. Cars are provided, and as Rebecca pointed out, there is a real opportunity to "make a difference" to someone's life.
This reminded some of the members of a talk a few months back the club when we heard from Maxine, our local magistrate, on how the introduction of the requirement to have 100 hours of supervised driving as part of preparations for the full licence had inadvertently led to a huge increase on young aboriginal boys being locked up.
And we also know from our contacts with IFYS that there are cars in their yard able to be used, if only there were more volunteers, so spread the word and you may encourage someone who can "make a difference".
