Built by two people who show up.
Elite Development & Supports started in North Lakes in 2023. It's founder-led, community-minded and all about the youth.

Our story
EDS was founded by Denzell Heketoa and Jicaro Young with a simple idea: young people do better when support feels like a community rather than a service.
We lean on what young people already love, like sport, fitness and music, to build confidence and real connections. The support is practical, but the feeling is closer to family.
Because we're founder-led, the people who set the standard are the same people who turn up. Families tell us that matters.
What we stand for
Community
A family-like crew where young people belong and look forward to turning up.
Inclusivity
Everyone is welcome, and support is shaped around the person, not a template.
Empowerment
Building confidence and skills so young people can take the lead in their own lives.
