Signature Program
Through the Eyes
of Youth
See the World Differently.
Through the Eyes of Youth (TTEOY) is a youth development program for middle and high school students. Through photography, storytelling, cultural exchange, and service, participants explore their communities and share their perspectives with peers across cultures.
Grounded in photovoice, an evidence-based participatory model, TTEOY's curriculum uses photography as a tool for exploration and storytelling. Young people learn to see their communities and themselves with new eyes. They practice visual storytelling, reflection, dialogue, and servant leadership as they learn from one another and identify ways to serve their communities.
