NURTURING CREATIVE TALENT
Nurturing Creative Talent
WORKING TOGETHER, WE CAN GIVE OUR YOUNG PEOPLE A BETTER FUTURE
WHO WE ARE
21K Digital Media’s mission is to assist marginalised young people to create campaigns, for social change and tell their stories about their lives. We nurture disadvantaged young people to develop skills in content creation, digital media, marketing, and connect them with employers in these industries. 21K Digital Media Hub was established for young people to develop their creative ideas so they come to life in media campaigns and thus create a movement to challenge stereotypes about their generation. All 100% of the organisation’s social media campaign content is produced by our team of 16- 26 year olds. Working closely with professional mentors, they receive on-the-job training in journalism, digital media, marketing, and entrepreneurship
Our journey so far:
You Can Sponsor A Young Person Today

We empower young people to be successful through carefully curated creative and digital courses designed to increase employability and promote entrepreneurship.
We may not all be naturally creative, but many of us are not allowed the opportunity to explore our innate creativity. This is especially true for young people who may have not reached their full academic potential, or who have fallen short of the grade needed for traditional training.
The next generation of creative minds
