21UP Movement: Empowering Youth to Achieve Their Full Potential
Who We Are
The 21UP Movement is a youth intervention programme / youth empowerment initiative designed to create opportunities and activities to offer support to young people to help install a belief system that enables them to believe in and work towards reaching their true potential. We feel that COVID-19 had a massive impact on the development of young people and it is massively affecting their mental health, and we at 21UP Movement are part of that change.
