Caitlyn Jenner makes her first motivational speech at the LGBT Youth Centre

Los Angeles - Caitlyn Jenner has visited an LGBT [Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender] Centre's Youth Program in Los Angeles.

The 65-year-old star - who was known as Bruce Jenner before her recent gender transition - reportedly spoke to a small group of young people for an hour on Tuesday before taking a tour of the facility and learning more about the program.

A source told E! News: "It was a small group. They talked to Caitlyn about their experiences, what they were going through and how the Centre is helping them."

The former Olympian - who has six children, including Kendall Jenner, 19, and Kylie Jenner, 17, and four stepchildren, including Kim Kardashian West, also brought some gifts for the group, comprised of young people between the ages of 14 and 24.

The insider added: "They were really excited to meet her. Caitlyn was really friendly and even referenced Miley Cyrus' visit to the Centre [in January]. She also brought some clothes for them."

Entertainment Tonight reported Jenner was spotted braving the rain with a hug black umbrella, dressed in skinny jeans a black top and an Elisabeth Weinstock Tokyo cross-body bag.

The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star is planning to visit the Centre, which hosts approximately 100 young people every day, the majority of whom are homeless, again in the near future.

Caitlyn previously admitted she decided to share her story with the world because she is eager to help people in a similar position.

She said: "I'm not doing it for money. I'm doing it to help my soul and help other people."
