OUR STORY
In 2016, CEO and Founder Scott Watters laid the foundation for LifeChanger with a simple stick-figure drawing on a whiteboard, fuelled by a firm belief in the limitless potential of young people.
Scott recognised the challenges preventing many young people from leading healthy, purposeful and meaningful lives. He understood that creating lasting change meant starting early — equipping young people with the skills, confidence, resilience and support they need to navigate life’s challenges.
And so, LifeChanger was born.
FROM IDEA TO MOVEMENT
The very first LifeChanger program unfolded in 2017, reaching just 33 fifteen-year-old students. Grounded in positive psychology and a strengths-based approach, the program empowered young people to discover their strengths and the hero within.
Students were introduced to our Hero Types, helping them better understand themselves, recognise their strengths and acknowledge the challenges that could hold them back.
A significant moment occurred during the workshop when a young boy declared, “You’ve forgotten a Hero Type, Sir. It’s trash, and that’s me!”
This encounter, forever etched in Scott’s memory, reinforced the critical need for a program that empowers young people to see themselves differently, recognise their potential and believe they are capable of more.
OUR VISION
To be a catalyst for positive change, creating a world where every young person is empowered to reach their full potential.
