First Exposures is a unique one-to-one mentoring program where academic skills and life skills are developed by combining the benefits of mentoring relationships with art education. The volunteer mentors are professional, commercial and fine art photographers with a commitment to youth and education. Their students are creative young people, aged 11-18, coming from underserved communities, foster care or low-income living situations. First Exposures fosters supportive intergenerational relationships in a stimulating environment of active learning. First Exposures was initiated in 1993 and became a program of the Tides Center in 2013.
