Leonardtown, MD – TheYouth Leadership Institute (YLI) is offering an opportunity for youth to express their thoughts and opinions in a unique and creative way.
YLI provides a unique organizational model for developing and advancing community change to benefit youth. The Institute is proud to partner with the St. Mary’s County Department of Aging & Human Services to present a special Photovoice Workshop on July 20 and 21 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Photovoice uses photography as a means for young people to capture and reflect on their community’s issues and assets through their own experiences and perspectives.
The two-day interactive workshop will be held at the College of Southern Maryland (22950 Hollywood Road, Leonardtown, MD 20636 – room C216) and is designed for those who want to elevate the voices of our youth through photography. Through the use of photography, the class will teach data collection and action research to spark positive ideas in the community for youth ages 14-22.
