About Youth in Focus
Youth in Focus is an afterschool program that uses intensive photography training as a tool to help disadvantaged teens develop personal voice, positive identity, social skills and artistic skills. Classes are taught by professional teaching artists and supported by volunteer adult mentors. In this way YIF creates a community of support around their students that both encourages and challenges them on their journey to a positive adulthood.
Youth in Focus works with youth ages 13-19 who face a variety of challenges in their lives, including low income, racism, discrimination, family troubles, homelessness, and low academic achievement. All Youth in Focus students attend class free of charge. YIF works with approximately 150 individual youth annually, many of whom will stay with the program for several quarters. Please visit youthinfocus.org for more information.
