The Western Australian Police and Community Youth Centres (WA PCYC) is a nonprofit organization that provides safe spaces and supportive activities for disadvantaged children and at-risk young people across Western Australia. It offers after-school programs and diversionary activities, and many participants are referred by the Western Australia Police Force, the Department of Education, or the Juvenile Justice System. Working with police and community partners, WA PCYC runs both Centre-based programs and outreach activities to help young people build connections and opportunities. Founded in 1941, WA PCYC operates a network of Centres across the state, from Albany to Broome, and also supports 35 Blue Light Units in remote and regional areas without a Centre. The organization is based in Wembley, Western Australia, and presents itself as a mid-sized nonprofit focused on youth safety and engagement. A recent development includes a May 2026 partnership with the City of Melville to support First Nations young people and those at risk of disengagement from education or involvement with the justice system.
