Our
Approach.
By investing our skills, experience and materials into the creation of impactful initiatives, we empower young individuals from ethnic minorities and disadvantaged communities, arming them with the tools to navigate a successful transition into adulthood.
At STEP NOW, we foster a supportive environment that empowers individuals by connecting them with an expansive network. Through this network, we facilitate the development of essential skills, access to opportunities, and social support, all aimed at fostering positive reinforcement and impactful social connections.
We leverage our collective voice to influence policies and advocate for change, enabling individuals to cultivate a success-oriented mindset and remain competitive and confident on their career journey. Our aim is to challenge and reverse the negative stigmas and stereotypes perpetuated by a lack of representation across various professional industries.

Changing lives through Youth Enrichment
At the heart of our organisation lie fundamental pillars, each meticulously crafted to serve as the cornerstone of excellence. Our mission is to empower young individuals with the essential tools necessary to carve out a transformative future.

HEALTHY HABITS
We believe that in order to be successful, it must start with a healthy mind and transcend through emotional and physical wellbeing. We are passionate about communicating a healthy balance of these concepts to young people; and their importance in preparation for the transitional phases they will encounter along their journey.

“Drippy & Humble”
Storytelling allows us to captivate senses and stir emotions. That's why we incorporate creative art in the guise of relatable role plays to teach key messages. These short skits are curated and produced by youth leaders to strategically resonate with our audience. By portraying characters that mirror the experiences of young individuals, we ensure relatability and engagement. These serve as powerful tools, not only to spotlight key topics but also to foster open discussions, facilitating a dynamic and impactful learning experience.
