A camera in their hands, with the right guidance and encouragement, can switch the light in their eyes back on, giving them a new lens on life. Kids in Focus is a 501(c)(3) that gives at-risk kids the chance to see themselves and their world in a new, more positive light. Through intensive and ongoing mentoring programs, Kids in Focus inspires hope in children ages 10-13 who come from backgrounds of poverty, homelessness, neglect and abuse. The kids receive much more than a camera. Mentored by professional photogra - phers, together they take a journey of discovery culminating in public photog - raphy exhibits, a hardbound book, and a new self-confidence for the future. kidsinfocus.org
