Make a Difference

Thanks to the support of generous donors such as you, Youth in Focus has built a community that has helped over 2,000 disadvantaged young people—through the power of photography—to experience their world in new ways and make positive changes in their lives.

We provide:

  • A safe, creative space—during critical after-school hours—where our students can develop a strong sense of themselves and build confidence for making positive choices.
  • A high-quality, intensive, sequential arts education for youth who would otherwise have limited access to such an experience.
  • Encouragement that helps our students develop and value their creative voice.

Please make your tax-deductible* gift of $25, $100, $500 or more, by clicking the Donate Now! button and donating online today. The link will take you to Network for Good our online partner. 100% of all donations go to Youth in Focus.

We also welcome gifts of stock (you’ll save on capital gains tax). If you have any questions, send e-mail to yif@youthinfocus.org or call 206.407.2122.

* Donations to Youth in Focus are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. 501(c)3 Federal EIN 91-1821137.

Gear

If you have any old — but fully functioning — cameras gathering dust in a closet, donate them to us and let them live again! If the camera is a model that we use in class, it will go right into a student’s hand. If it’s a model that we don’t use in class, we can sell it on our eBay store to generate funds we need to buy other supplies for class.

If you want to buy a camera and have 100% of the proceeds benefit YIF, shop our eBay store at myworld.ebay.com/youthinfocusseattle. We add new items every week so check back often!
