Life Centre for Youth Development & Empowerment Inc. is a registered not-for-profit organisation based in Adelaide, South Australia, dedicated to empowering young people aged 12–25, women, and families from Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) backgrounds as well as those from mainstream Australian communities.
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.
Across Australia, many young people continue to face barriers to success, with more than 30% struggling to secure employment after school and 1 in 6 aged 15–24 experiencing challenges accessing education or training due to financial hardship, discrimination, or limited support. Our holistic approach is designed to break these barriers and create opportunities that transform lives.
In addition to youth-focused programs, we offer advocacy, support, and intervention services for vulnerable groups, including at-risk youth and people with disabilities. Our services raise awareness of rights, promote inclusion and equality, and ensure equitable access to opportunities for all.
Through collaboration with community organisations, schools, government agencies, and partners, we develop sustainable solutions that strengthen families, enhance community wellbeing, and contribute meaningfully to local, national, and global development.
