Photography Club

Connects Middle-High School youth from underserved communities to learn photography, environmental
education, and creative expression. Through partnerships with parks, Willow Bend Environmental,
Northern Arizona University and The Museum of Northern Arizona, Club Snapshot members will: work
with professional photographers from the Flagstaff community to teach members skills and knowledge
needed for creative expression and art.
Our program is free to participants and provides important “firsts” such as using high powered cameras,
visiting a national park or wildlife refuge for the first time. It will run for 1 year and have 6 excursions and 6
workshops. Professional photography lessons and field work build skills, promotes creativity and
enhances self-esteem. We would recognize our youth’s work through 1 locally public display/ showcase
and competitions throughout the nation.
