Critical Exposure teaches youth to use the power of photography and their own voices to become effective advocates for school reform and social change. We run workshops in documentary photography and advocacy to youth in Washington, DC and across the country in partnership with public schools and after-school programs. Youth document issues that impact their lives-- such as poor school facilities, teen pregnancy, unemployment, homelessness and the causes and consequences of dropping out-- and use their images and stories to advocate for better public policies addressing those issues.
