California- Central Valley
Description
Fotokids worked with the Cutler Orosi school system in California’s Central Valley to help integrate children of farm workers into the general school population using our photography curriculum on identity.
This program was supported by the California State School System for five years, when they then asked us if they could take it over as part of their after-school programs and it continues today.
Research and experience have shown that immigrant youth are at high risk of becoming disconnected from school and other positive institutions that would otherwise be able to help support their learning and development.
Schools often struggle to involve recent immigrants in the activities that would provide them with opportunities for meaningful membership in a positively oriented group.
