[Monica Biswas]

Thank you, to all those who are responding to Leo's request for the 
YouthLearn discussion list concerning where to find images of young people 
making a difference in their local communities.   Here is a digest of the 
8 responses so far. 

All the best-

You might want to try the Teen Empowerment Center in the South End of 
Boston. 617-536-4266 I know they document many of their programs and would 
probably be willing to help. The contact there is Stanley Pollack  -

Good Luck

Hopefully you will recieve the information that you desire (FREE). 
However, if not, then I suggest that you contact the closest major 
newspaper in your area.  Talk to someone in their metro section.  Often 
times, reporters do stories concerning youth and have pictures on file. 
These high quality photos are void of copyright issues and redtape. 
 
Finally, and I know you know this, investigate youth serving organizations 
in your area to see if they will allow you to photgraph their work.
 
Hope this helps

Hello,

I have a couple of pictures. Our teens put on a movie for our seniors at 
the Thanksgiving meal.  It was also a womans birthday.  I have a picture 
that shows the teens giving the woman a present.  A food pantry operates 
out of the center and I also have a picture of the teens loading the car 
with food for Thanksgiving.  I also have a picture of teens receiving a 
'Youth In Action' award for helping with the Thanksgiving baskets.

Now, we are not professional photographers and not that experienced with 
our digital camera. Also, we would probably need image releases?  Would 
the photos be used exclusively in the workshop?

We are a rural Community Action in Western New York.

Hey Leo :: Good to hear from you again.  I'd recommend getting in touch 
with City Year <http://www.cityyear.org>, Youth Service America <http://www.ysa.org/>, the Corporation for National Service <http://www.nationalservice.org/>, and AmeriCorps http://www.americorps.org/>.  I am sure their state directors have lots of file photos they'd love 
to share as long as you'd be willing to provide attribution.

You might start with Chris Murphy at the Washington, DC office of City 
Year, a fantastic, energetic group of young people.

You might try the wosportag at aol.com (the Women's Sports Foundation). They 
work with grassroots organizations promoting sport activity within their 
communities and promoting healthy lifestyles. The website is
