Mission

Major Activities

Activity 2

Outreach/marketing & communications: Critical Exposure works with participating students to identify opportunities for the students' photographs and stories to reach both as broad an audience as possible and targeted audiences such as public officials, school administrators, and community members. This outreach primarily takes the form of traveling exhibits and online displays of the students' work. Exhibits take place at art galleries, conferences, coffee shops, libraries, and other public spaces. The exhibits are an opportunity for youth to share their perspectives on issues impacting their lives to build the public support and political will needed to implement concrete solutions and policy changes to address those issues. This program also involves the recruitment of youth participants and new partner organizations.

Activity 3
