Amped Up Youth Music Initiative is a community-led program with a clear purpose—empowering young people through music and performance.
Operating across the Whitsundays, Amped Up! creates opportunities for youth aged 5 to 21 to build confidence, showcase their abilities, and connect with others in a safe and encouraging space.
Driven by a passion for youth wellbeing and suicide prevention, the program is much more than a performance outlet. It represents a movement that values creativity, resilience, and human connection.
Through workshops, mentoring, and live events, young people are supported to express themselves, grow, and shine on stage.
Last Saturday Amped Up was held at Bowen's Soundshell and the atmosphere was full of love and support.
