About lyk-z & daughters
lyk-z & daughters’ mission is to assist youth who have dropped out of school and work-life to find their inherent qualities and unique abilities, and with this quickly return to school and work. We are a social entrepreneurship company that believes in the individual’s own ability to create its own future to a life of dignity. Being a Social Entrepreneur means finding solutions where the public is insufficient and where there is no commercial interests. lyk-z & daughters have three result lines: 1) profit, for running the business and to develop our methods 2) number of youths who go through our program, and how many of them that experience lasting change and return to society 3) contributions to good, social entrepreneurship projects, which provide growth and dignity for other people. In 2012 we were named the Social Entrepreneur of the Year by FERD Social Entrepreneurs. The recognition and financial support from winning this award opened a number of new opportunities, as well as the chance to complete our web-based learning platform; FROG Leadership and Life Mastery. In December 2012, we were adopted as the 11th Social Entrepreneurship company in FERD’s portfolio of Social Entrepreneurs. This has enabled us to reach out to even more young adults who need support to take charge of their own lives. We have also received support from a private fund. This means that even youths with economical challenges will be given the opportunity to create lasting change in their lives. Our values are acceptance, generosity, dignity and magic. Magic, for us, is something that occurs when people are given 100% trust. Therefore, we know that magic exists!
