Who We Are

Licayde

We provide inclusive, person-centred programs and services that build essential life skills, leadership, confidence, and resilience — helping individuals pursue meaningful goals and become active contributors to their families, communities, and society. Our work fosters identity, belonging, and participation while creating pathways for education, employment, and personal growth.

Our Story

Life Centre for Youth Development & Empowerment Inc. was born from a story of resilience, courage, and hope. Founded in 2013 by a visionary young man from multicultural backgrounds, our organisation was created out of lived experience — a shared journey shaped by the hardship of civil wars, displacement, and the struggle to rebuild.
