About AccessCo Leaders Inc.

AccessCo Leaders opens doors for students who may not otherwise meet the leaders shaping workplaces and communities. We create student-led experiences that help young people build confidence, discover pathways, and imagine new possibilities for their future.

Students are empowered to:

• Tell their story

• Practice professional skills

• Build meaningful connections

• Envision a future they may not have considered

Talent is everywhere. Access is not.

Ilyne Deliquiña is the founder of AccessCo Leaders.

A former U.S. Air Force officer, pastor, and producer, Ilyne has spent her career creating spaces where people feel seen, prepared, and invited into meaningful conversation. Her work sits at the intersection of leadership, access, and storytelling.

Through years of CEO interviews and youth-focused leadership conversations, she saw a clear gap: talented students rarely have direct access to the leaders shaping workplaces and communities. AccessCo Leaders was created to change that.

Ilyne believes confidence is built through proximity, and that when students are trusted with real conversations, they rise to meet them. AccessCo exists to make those moments intentional, consistent, and accessible for students and communities who deserve to be seen.

Access creates confidence. Confidence creates choice.

Founder

  • AccessCo is a nonprofit committed to creating access, elevating students, and connecting leaders.

    We partner with schools, youth programs, and employers to design online conversations where students lead—asking questions, shaping the dialogue, and learning from the lived experiences of leaders in the workplace and community.

    Our approach is grounded in three commitments:

    • Leaders show up with intention

    • Students uncover who they are and who they can become

    • Wisdom is shared freely to elevate the next generation

  • Talent is everywhere. Access is not.

    Many students are capable, curious, and motivated—but lack proximity to leaders who can help them see a different path. A single conversation can:

    • Shift how a student sees their own story

    • Expand what they believe is possible

    • Open doors to mentorship, internships, and job opportunities

    • Build confidence that changes the trajectory of a life

    AccessCo exists to create these moments on purpose, not by accident.
