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.
