Youth in Focus

Youth in Focus’ mission is to prepare the next generation of creative thinkers to meet the emerging needs of a global society, by amplifying teen voice through photography and arts education.

We believe all youth should have equitable access to quality arts education. We provide after-school, summer, and partner programs for teens aged 13-19 furthest from educational justice. We focus on Social & Emotional Learning, 21st century skills, and technical photography and digital media skills, to ensure students have the tools and confidence they need to succeed in education, life, and career. We offer pay-what-you can tuition and free bus passes to make our program accessible to all.

At Youth in Focus we value art as a powerful medium of change to create a healthy, vibrant, more equitable and just society for all. Through this work, we aim to confront and dismantle systemic oppression in all of its forms.
