Critical Exposure

Critical Exposure uses a unique three-pronged approach that blends art and advocacy: 1. Youth Empowerment - Provide students with training in documentary photography, leadership, and advocacy; teach them how to document issues that impact their lives; and help them to use their images and voices to advocate for positive solutions to those issues. 2. Public Engagement - Inform and engage the public by using students' photographs and writing to create traveling exhibits that can be shown in galleries, libraries, coffee shops, and other public spaces to increase awareness of the issues facing young people. 3. Real Change - Partner with advocacy and community organizations to implement creative strategies that use students' photography and voices to support school reform and social change. VISTAs working with Critical Exposure will have the opportunity to take on significant responsibility and will be an integral part of helping to support and strengthen the organization's growth and operations. VISTAs will be encouraged to take initiative on projects addressing areas of need that they identify and will have the opportunity to work closely with all of Critical Exposure's staff. VISTAs can expect to develop skills in a wide range of areas, such as: > Program design and implementation > Marketing and communications, both traditional and online > Website maintenance and development > Curriculum and lesson plan development > Nonprofit management > Fundraising, including grant research and writing and soliciting corporate sponsorships > Community and media outreach > Event planning > Financial management and bookkeeping > Creating photography exhibits and securing exhibit venues across the city > Establishing partnerships with schools, youth programs, and advocacy organizations
