Step Up Together 2021
Written by Anne-Margaux Angelov "You have the power to write the pages to your own story. So, continue to thrive, find your way and most definitely always keep your head up." - Tiara Soto, teen activist, Step Up Teen Honoree

During the first week of September, Step Up held its second annual digital summit, Step Up Together. It was a day full of inspiration, fun, and joy! Nearly 1,800+ guests joined from around the world, helping raise the critical funds necessary to continue to offer Step Up's mentorship programs to girls, young women and gender expansive young adults.

The summit amplified the voices of teens and executives alike, encouraging multigenerational conversations that were necessary, impactful and inspiring. Sessions covered topics including social justice, mentorship, leadership, networking, workplace, style, and fulfilling your potential.

Watch (or re-watch) Teen Honoree Tiara Soto's session with Mandy Moore for a glimpse of the inspiring content shared throughout the day:


Guests tuned in through Step Up's app to attend sessions, network with fellow attendees, play games, fill out polls, and even access virtual brand lounges!
