We are honored to collaborate with exceptional community partners who display the kids’ inspiring photos, presenting exhibits to the public throughout the year.
The photos and the kids’ image titles and captions offer the unique perspective of youth from diverse backgrounds and circumstances.
The power of diversity enriches all of us – expanding our range of understanding and engagement, identifying challenges and discovering new ways to create hope and joy.
Knowing that their artwork is valued and appreciated through the exhibits has the power to transform the way these young people view themselves and their potential.
I see things now I never saw before.

A New Lens on Life
When kids experience trauma, they disconnect from the world and from themselves. Kids in Focus is a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering and equipping at-risk kids to shift from surviving to thriving. Through the restorative power of photography and with the guidance of dedicated mentors, these kids are inspired to open their eyes to their potential and self-worth.
