We run a Teen Vacation Program for youth, ages 12-16. Recreational workers, Youth workers and Police team up to plan and implement a program of education, fun and activities. Some of the special needs catered for in our program include eating disorders, delayed development, behavioural disorders and chronic asthma. Young people develop friendships and support though their participation. Healthy alternatives to helpful behaviors are explored and promoted. Activities have included: 10 pin bowling, Richmond maze, Cadbury's, Woody's roller world, Movies and much more.

Street Work -

As part of Hobart PCYC's outreach care program, Street work aims to offer assistance and support to homeless or otherwise disadvantaged youth towards being accepted as valued members of the community. It is about getting involved with young people: we have part-time workers in the CBD who offer heath and welfare information. Services include counselling and referral, crisis support, offering PCYC's activities and lifestyle advice. We assist 5-20 people each day, and make a contribution to reducing youth suicide, substance abuse, violence, crime and other anti-social behaviours. For further information and/or assistance contact the street youth worker Juanita on 0439475793 or alternatively at HPCYC on (03) 62 302246.

RecLink -

RecLink was a program initiated by Hobart PCYC to assist Hobart's youth. RecLink aims to provide sporting activities for street youth, the homeless and unemployed aged 12-25 years. We play cricket, indoor rock climbing and football, as directed and supported by the participants. Currently there are regular cricket and football rosters. This assists to offer a sense of belonging to a team and society in general through regular practise and playing games. As well as sports, there are various recreational activities: among the latest included a fishing day. We have some 3000 participants in a year, with weekly game days..

We currently have youth workers and support workers from other services. This program enhances opportunities to access services for a wide range of issues.
