How do the kids in the programs get involved?
We collaborate with local schools, family resource centers, foster care programs and other nonprofits to engage youth through workshops, the Intensive Mentoring Series, and the Grads in Focus Program. Our programs inspire imagination while building the essential skills to build resilience and to overcome adversity.
Can I volunteer if I’m not a photographer?
Absolutely. KIF welcomes volunteers with a variety of skills, interests, and availability. There are different programs and schedules to choose from. Apply to be a Volunteer here.
How can I learn more, donate and make an impact?

Can I purchase images?
No, currently all KIF prints are unavailable for purchase. Thank you for understanding!
I’ve enjoyed the adventures and building positive memories. Seeing them [the kids] on the night of their exhibition, their smiles and how proud they are of themselves, it’s a beautiful thing.
I get a kick out of being surprised by the kids. Just when I think I know their characters, they drop a concept in their photography that reveals a new branch of their creativity.
It’s been a privilege to work with the kids; some of whom I’m still in touch with after 5+ years. To see them shine and truly benefit from the program beyond the aspect of learning about photography brings me so much joy and a sense of pride.
