YIf Students! want to take your photography skills to the next level?
Join our Job Readiness Program (JRP)! This program was made with YOU in mind. The JRP was created as a way to provide our students with real-world PAID opportunities to practice their professional photography skills with the support of Youth in Focus Teaching Artists!
How it works:
- Local organizations and businesses hire us to photograph their events.
- Must have completed at least 1 after-school class.
- Youth in Focus staff determine which student will be best for each event (we rotate students for every event so all who are interested have an opportunity).
- Once confirmed, we provide all the information and details about the event.
- Final step: You show up! We will provide all the equipment.
-After the event, we will mail you your stipend check!
"We love partnering with the team at Youth in Focus to photograph some of our education and community engagement events!"
The student photographers we’ve worked with have been professional and delivered us quality images that beautifully capture the joy, energy, and community building in our programs. The photography mentors work fluidly with their student mentees, giving them space to learn how to work with clients while also capturing additional photos throughout the event to ensure we have more than enough photo options. This program allows us to invest in young pre-professional photographers in collaboration with a program which truly sets the students up for success. We look forward to every opportunity to work with Youth in Focus and supporting this generation’s emerging artists.
