Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, Las Fotos Project (a Community Partners project) will implement Esta Soy Yo, a mentoring program that provides critical thinking, visual communication, and media literacy through a series of personal development activities. The innovative program uses therapeutic photography methodology and a project-based learning model with themes focused on self-awareness, self-confidence, self-efficacy, and self-identity.
Organization Summary
Founded in 2010, Las Fotos Project (a Community Partners project) is a non-profit community-based photography program located in Los Angeles, whose primary goal is to advance positive change for adolescent girls and gender-expansive youth through one-on-one mentoring, photography trainings, and assigned field projects. Our programs and services also foster the creativity, communication, critical thinking, and collaboration skills needed to compete in a 21st century workforce. We annually serve more than 300 female and gender-expansive students between the ages of 13-18 from communities of color, who do not have access to photography equipment or arts-based programs.
