VisionWorkshops is the creative force behind a series of highly effective photography workshops for youth from underserved communities worldwide. VisionWorkshops uses Viewbook to present their photography projects online. We saw what they did and decided to sponsor them with Viewbook Pro. Its great to see what they do and we believe they have a very powerful concept.
“Our mission is to provide innovative, dynamic, educational and life changing experiences for youth, using the tools of photojournalism. Our goals are to give young people a voice, challenging them to see themselves and their communities in a new light; to encourage them to explore their world through the lens of a camera; and to share their perspectives with others through the publication and exhibition of their work.
VisionWorkshops provides programs free of charge to our students, through generous donations from the community and from corporate sponsors. Our workshops inspire youth with positive role models and with opportunities to display their photographs and writings at galleries such as New York’s International Center of Photography, Maryland Hall for the Creative Arts, and National Geographic Headquarters in Washington D.C. The end result of each workshop is a group of enthusiastic kids and adults, each gaining new insights through the mentoring experience and the power of photography.
