Become a Sponsor!

Sponsor youth creativity!

Sponsorship fuels young people’s ability to share their ideas and values —and positively impact their futures—through the transformative power of photography and art. Your support helps Youth in Focus remove barriers to creative expression and amplify voices too often left unheard.

Our students are talented, motivated, and full of perspective—but too many lack access to quality arts education. Across every aspect of our work, we prioritize access, equity, and belonging.
