The Life Center is the vision of Dr. Charlayne Henry, Executive Director. Dr. Henry saw the need to bring the Arts and a Center that would serve as an incubator for new entrepreneurs seeking to build their own businesses, but that needed training and mentorship.  Her forty plus years in Community Development and non-profit management was the driving force in establishing this small test center that would address the lack of Arts, mentoring, training and developing businesses owned by black and brown residents of Plant City, Florida.  The Life Center is the hub Dr. Henry along with several likeminded partners created that serves as a safe place for both the young and senior members of Plant City to participate and volunteer in the programs and services offered.

The vision of Dr. Henry and her partners is to see Plant City, Florida becoming a City that offers equal opportunities in every sector. A City that embraces all races, building business ownership and opportunities for black and brown residents.
