Focus on Youth is a class that takes place at Portland International Community School. The goal is to help foster a sense of belonging and self-worth in our students while we help them develop transferable photography skills so they can succeed in school and in life.  Focus on Youth is a 501 (c)(3) organization, offering free photography classes and mentoring to students. promotes artistic expression, recognizes achievement and provides critically needed mentoring and arts education for our most vulnerable young people.

We went on a photography field trip with students from Focus on Youth to the Hoyt Arboretum. The interviews were mostly conducted by Rosa Ramirez.
