Photo Start

We are a network of photographers, artists, teachers, and volunteers worldwide, working to empower under-resourced young people (ages 12-25) to imagine, create, and choose their future. We are always looking for people to spread the word about our mission and to provide whatever support might be unique to YOU! We provide applied learning experiences that give students the courage to reframe their stories, develop as leaders, and become agents of change in their communities. We develop creative visual storytelling and digital skills, and inspire confidence in young people, creating a greater impact now and for future generations. We are an international group of photographers, artists, educators, business leaders, and non-profit experts who are dedicated to a common goal: Helping youth in various circumstances find their voice and gain skills that will spark positive change in their world. This year we are thrilled to work again with i3 Impacto Social (La Paz, Bolivia), implementing our Photo Start Visual Storytelling & Self-Expression Course. We are grateful for the ongoing support of all our backers and supporters, whose generosity has been essential in enabling us to continue our important work. Founded in 2016, Photo Start is a global 501c(3) nonprofit organization headquartered in New York.
