AS FEATURED IN
“It was amazing to collaborate with 100cameras and the talented and creative students…To see the photos the students captured of the ways they see the world around them was truly inspiring. 100cameras teaches them how to use self-expression to flip the narrative on how a world of outsiders views their home.”
“Empower young artists. Buy a print at 100cameras to support a child recovering from trauma and to aid her school.”
“For the kids, sharing their life with the rest of the world is a reward in itself, but 100cameras goes one step further. The photographs are available for sale, and 100% of the profits go back to the children’s organizations.”
“Photography allows children an unfiltered medium through which to express their voices, and the [100cameras] photos included herein serve as a window into their experience… When children are engaged, they become active participants in resilience building and recovery.”
“When you find something that aligns with your brand and mission so perfectly, you have to shout it from the rooftops. That’s how we feel about 100cameras.”
YOUTH NEED CONNECTION
Research shows that if youth are not given opportunities to process their experiences and to feel seen and heard, they are significantly more likely to opt out of their surroundings than to opt-in.
Through listening to Educators and Community Leaders, we know that youth often have difficulty using language alone to process and share their experiences. They may feel isolated, without a wide set of options for how to express themselves, and genuine connection with others can be missing. Feelings are often left unexpressed, and collaboration suffers when youth are in silos.
This is why our program exists.

“A parent reached out to me and said,
‘I don’t know what’s happening in this class, but my son is really feeling good about himself'.
Having this class sort of helped open up this world for him, and it’s giving him more of a passion and confidence in himself.”
