Welcome to YBCL

Welcome Image

Enhancing the quality of life through education is the primary mission of YBCL. Education plays an important role in the development and transformation of human reality.

All these elements are in need of education and development.

The educational courses offered by YBCL are targeted at all age groups and designed to assist the participant to acquire knowledge, skills and spiritual insight which are prerequisite to a better life style. They assist in achieving harmony between body, mind and soul.

YBCL is a national institution established by the Australian Bahá’í community and its courses are inspired by the spiritual teachings of the Bahá’í Faith.
