Zion’s Journey
Hi, my name is Zion. I’m 17 and I am a teenage barber proud to be supported by the 21UP Movement. I have attended several conferences and black tie events which helped me develop personally and professionally. Thanks to 21UP, I also received my first driving lessons and passed my driving test the first time only three months after turning 17. I am currently still in college and excited about the future, ready for more opportunities the 21UP Movement has to offer.

Beau’s Journey
My name is Beau and I am 14 years old. Before joining 21UP I struggled with anxiety and lacked confidence which made it hard to talk to people. The 21UP Movement improved my mental health and confidence so I can now engage comfortably and make new friends. I have overcome fears, spoken publicly and performed live. In two years I hope to become a hairdresser or start my own business to help support my family. I know that 21UP will guide me throughout my journey. Their encouragement has made a real difference.

Isobel’s Journey into the Performing Arts
The 21UP Movement has provided an abundance of opportunities that boosted my confidence. I want to enter the performing arts industry and 21UP helped me gain experience with professional equipment that will support my future. I have spoken publicly, performed live, attended events and presented to audiences. These experiences are invaluable and I am truly grateful.
