NorthWest Initiative Photo: Mikayla in the City Pulse

About the class

Students in the photo class are given cameras and asked to document their lives. We blend art, therapy, communication skills, reading and writing. Students in Lansing need additional outlets to keep them successful in school, increase literacy and decrease dropout rates. According to the MEA, during the 2007-2008 school year dropout rates were 15 percent statewide, in Lansing they were as high as 24 percent (Center for Educational Performance and Information). Photography helps children become interested in reading, writing and becoming strong community voices.
