Every person has a different story to tell, and we want to see and hear your story! Through the use of disposable film cameras, we can share our experience and life! All artistic skill levels, experience levels and unique experiences welcome!

This program will be split into two sessions, which will be as follows:

January 6th 2026: In this first session we will introduce the program, with short presentations from our Youth Mentor, Social Work, Ability Awareness & Kids on the Block program representatives! We will then show our group how to use the cameras and discuss the type of story each of them want to tell.
Between our two sessions, the cameras must be dropped off at 779 Baseline by January 26th. This will ensure that the film is developed and our team can prepare the images into slideshows for each of our storytellers!

Feburary 10th 2026: In the second session, we will spend the first portion of time looking over our photos and discussing the type of story we can tell with them! After this, we will have a showcase period where everyone can share their story if they would like!
