Join us in Empowering Youth Through Photography

First Exposures is a San Francisco-based, nationally recognized youth mentoring program that strives to make a major long-term difference in the lives of high-need, underserved San Francisco Bay Area youth by providing a venue for them to enhance their self-confidence, develop their creativity, and gain a passion for learning. First Exposures serves youth 11-18, who are referred to the program by a wide range of youth and social services organizations with which First Exposures partners.

Since 2004, over 95 percent of our students have gone on to pursue a college education.

First Exposures is a fiscally sponsored project of Tides Center.
