and on Thursday, my favorite local youth non-profit, First Exposures is having their annual fundraiser. With a black and white darkroom and sharing space with the amazing Youth Speaks non-profit, First Exposures uses photography as a medium for mentoring and I've been involved for over ten years there. The event, Looking Forward, Giving Back, is a really fun one where often the youth are showing their work in a gallery setting for the first time and many mentors and other notable photographers also have art in the auction to raise funds for the program. If you can make it, tickets aren't too expensive but you can also donate directly if you are not local or able to make it in person! https://www.firstexposures.org/lfgb #youthmentoring #nonprofit #fundraiser #BelieveinFilm

I have accounts on three Mastodon platforms and skim through posts daily, looking for #Chicago area people writing about these issues:

#youthdevelopment, #workforcedevelopment #povertyreduction #education #volunteering #philanthropy #youthmentoring #servicelearning #tutormentor

I'm also looking for people who use visuals, like #maps & #conceptmaps to show where kids and families in high poverty areas need extra help.

So far I don't find much.

Do any of you know of a Mastodon Instance where the focus is #youthdevelopment, #workforcedevelopment, #nonschoolhours #povertyreduction, #volunteering #philanthropy #tutormentor #youthmentoring #nonprofityouthorgs #youthProgramDesign #birthtowork

I have accounts on three Instances, but very few are posting information related to these hashtags.
