YOUTH NEED CONNECTION


Research shows that if youth are not given opportunities to process their experiences and to feel seen and heard, they are significantly more likely to opt out of their surroundings than to opt in. And we believe in a world where every young person should feel safe enough — and supported enough — to opt in.


WORDS ALONE ARE NOT ENOUGH

Through listening to Educators and Community Leaders, we know that youth often have difficulty using language alone to process and share their experiences. They may feel isolated, without a wide set of options for how to express themselves, and genuine connection with others can be missing. Feelings are often left unexpressed, and collaboration suffers when youth are in silos.

CURRICULUM + METHODOLOGY


Our unique enrichment curriculum is designed for all educators — no prior photography experience required!

This is not a yearlong, daily curriculum. Instead, it’s a high-impact, flexible program built around 41 creative activities that integrate photography with storytelling, reflection, and emotional well-being. It’s designed to fit into a semester, a series of weekly sessions, a camp-style program, or an afterschool format.

Teachers have found great success in incorporating the 100cameras program into existing curricula across a multitude of subject matters.

Through storytelling with photography, students gain tools to process life experiences, emotions, and their role in their community. Educators are equipped with everything they need to lead these sessions confidently.
