Funded by the Circuit City Foundation, this
comprehensive photography program encourages girls and boys to learn and
practice photography, expressing themselves in creative and innovative ways. The
national initiative delivers a state-of-the-art photography curriculum, provides
photographic resources and opportunities for Club members to compete on a
national level. ImageMakers provides local, regional and national recognition
through an annual photography contest. Winning photos will be displayed
nationwide at museums as well as at BGCA's annual National Conference.
The Circuit City Foundation ImageMakers funding is being passed through to 60
Boys & Girls Clubs nationwide to help them implement a photography curriculum.
Ten additional sites were selected for grants to strengthen and highlight
excellent photography programs in place. All Boys & Girls Clubs across the
country receive the ImageMakers resource guide and materials.
