First Exposures: Empowering Youth Through PhotographyFirst Exposures provides free weekly photography classes for San Francisco’s underserved youth. Each student is matched with a working photographer who serves as a positive adult role model and provides individualized guidance and support. In this mentorship program, more than 90% of students have gone on to pursue a college education.Please help us expand the First Exposures experience with community outreach programs, after-school programs, and summer courses throughout the city. With your support, First Exposures can provide services, training – and hope – to an additional 250 young people this year.Join us for Looking Forward, Giving Back, our 3rd annual celebration of photography, music and community. Enjoy:
