Cameras For Kids Foundation Launches Educational Program Partnership with HANDY and the Guardian a

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - Feb. 7, 2014 - PRLog -- Cameras For Kids Foundation, HANDY and the Guardian ad Litem Program received a $1,000 in donation from the VOICES for Children of Broward County to start a photography enrichment class for vulnerable youth participating in the HANDY Program, who are also a part of the GAL Program.

The signing of the partnership agreement took place in December 2013 and all 10 available slots are already filled. This will be a great experience for these young adults to see the world through a different lens.  This will be an eight (8) week commitment for these students who will get an opportunity to display their work in an upcoming   Photography Showcase in April. We are excited to start this program and to watch these students explore their art in photography.

Cameras For Kids Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides at-risk teens with a camera and teaches basic concepts of art and photography while fostering self-esteem, self-confidence and offering a skill set.  The CFKF program is in many major cities across the US and Canada.
