“FELLOWSHIP The Fellowship Program is our most advanced program in terms of both youth empowerment and photography. This program takes place after school and is year long with youth returning for multiple years. It meets twice weekly for two hours each session in addition to numerous field trips training opportunities and conferences. Our staff works intensively with youth interested in applying their learning by implementing a collective youth led citywide campaign aimed at securing a positive solution to an issue they have selected. Recent campaigns have included the need for increased training and accountability for school security guards and for schools to expand access to relevant life skills training including financial literacy. INTERNSHIP is an introductory 12 week after school program students interested in using photography to identify and impact issues in their schools. This program meets twice weekly for two hours per session and acts as a pipeline for students to enter our fellowship. Summer programs are taught by selected youth from school year programs who are trained as facilitators through our Summer Youth Facilitator Institute. This peer to peer learning elevates our youth from being the participants to the facilitators.”
