Testimonials
This place is like a second home to me... no, wait, it's my first home. I don't
know where I'd be without Zeal.
I am reminded every week at Zeal, that there are people who believe in me. That I am capable of so much, and there is at least one thing I am passionate about and can put my heart and soul into!
Back before I came to Zeal I used to bomb the outside of their building for fun. It felt good to have my tag where everyone could see it. One day I got invited to have dinner with some friends and the youth workers at Zeal and I realised how awesome the place was. I don't have any tags outside Zeal anymore... instead they asked me to design two panels for the cafe space. They've hung on the wall for over a year now.
I played around with music a bit before ZEAL, but with all the resources I could try new things and explore music, it gave me so much more opportunity
ZEAL & Jurassic Penguin has meant everything to me, its been the crossroads in my life. The staff have been really encouraging and they challenge me to think. I left school in Yr 12 and had no focus, now I am applying for a Bachelor in Social Practice, I’m finding my place in the world and what I want to do.
“music has given them purpose and meaning and an outlet for the things in this world that they can't understand or decide isn't right. I have been told on many occasions that they never feel more alive than when they are playing music"
