Paarl Youth Social Club Details
ABOUT USHISTORYThis initiative was founded at Adri-Faas Street, Paarl by unemployed youth who wanted to play ‘street' soccer, cricket and netball while on the outlook for job opportunities. Eventually, they approached Colin Jacobs, an activist in the workplace and community struggles to formulate their ideas. An informal meeting was called on the 07 January 2018 of which seven attended followed by a founding meeting on the 21 January 2018 of which thirteen unemployed youth attended. At the above first founding meeting a constitution was adopted and the name was successfully resolved: Paarl Youth Social Club (PSYC).On the 15 February 2018 the sports social club applied for non-profit organisation registration and successfully launched together with its first fundraising on the 03 March 2018. PREAMBLEWe, the members of the Paarl Youth Sports Social Club, firmly commit ourselves to a united Paarl, free of mass unemployment, mass poverty, mass inequalities and economic exploitation. We believe that this can only be achieved under the leadership of an organised and united youth. Our experience has taught us that to achieve this goal we must:(a) fight and oppose discrimination in all its forms within the organisation, sports and in society;(b) strive for maximum unity amongst organised youth and organise every unorganised youth into our sports and social organisation;(c) ensure that all levels of our Organisation are democratically controlled by the youth themselves through elected committees.We call on all youth that identify with these principles and aims to join us and theyouth we represent, as youth in the struggle ahead. We call on all youth to set aside any prejudices that they may have and strive for absolute unity.
