First Exposures Program Information

First Exposures accepts students ages 11 - 18 recruited from local agencies serving young people with backgrounds of foster care, homelessness, and transitional or low-income living situations. Students enter First Exposures with an interest in learning photography and leave with the skills to pursue their work on a more advanced level or in college. First Exposures provides a creative outlet for students to express themselves in a safe and supportive environment and encourages them to become articulate, confident, and responsible young adults. Participation in the program is voluntary, and students commit to attend class once a week, each Saturday, for at least one academic semester. Most students and mentors stay in the program for one year.

First Exposures alumni, stay in touch! Contact Erik Auerbach to let us know what you're up to.
