We’re making room for what’s next 📸

Over the past year, we’ve been working behind the scenes to improve our office and youth space. Creating an environment where DC young people have the space, tools, and resources they need to create, organize, and tell their own stories.

Our latest update: a bigger, secure equipment closet for our cameras, photography gear, and other tools our young people use to document their communities and make their voices heard.

With classes back in session for DCPS, we just want to remind all of the DC youth to look for joy in this new year of school, research ways you can advocate for your community, and be ready to learn new leadership skills.
