.Focus on Youth
This non-profit organization empowers at-risk teens through photography by bringing them together with mentors to experience their world in new ways. Please consider volunteering for just 3 hours at a time.
A volunteer meeting is scheduled for Saturday, May 24th from 10 am to 11 am. at the newly constructed 1800 sq.ft. studio and darkroom at 1028 SE Water Avenue.
Mentors will teach students to operate a 35 mm camera, develop film and print black and white photos in the Focus on Youth darkroom. Students will go on "location shoots" with mentors around the city and learn portrait lighting in the studio. Classes will be held at the studio 3 mornings per week (Thursday, Friday & Saturdays) from 9 am to 1 pm. For 6 weeks beginning in June.
