Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, Las Fotos Project will launch the Creative Career Center, which will serve 19 to 24-year-old women-identified and gender-expansive photographers; furthering the organization’s mission to provide historically underrepresented communities of color with the resources necessary to be competitive candidates in today’s creative economy.
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.
