ABOUT CRITICAL EXPOSURE (CE)

Critical Exposure is a local DC organization that supports youth of color ages 14-21 to lead organizing campaigns to effect change around issues of educational injustice. As part of those campaigns, youth use visual storytelling, particularly photography, as a tool to document the issues directly impacting their lives. Through our in-school, afterschool, and summer programs, we’re developing a new generation of youth leaders who possess:

  • The tools to express themselves

  • The creativity to imagine new solutions to old problems

  • The belief that young people have the right and ability to fight for those solutions

  • The skills to hold communities and public officials accountable

Since 2004, CE has trained more than 2,600 DC youth of color to be agents of change who harness the power of storytelling and organizing. DC youth have used their images and narratives to fight for restorative justice programs, a new school library, and solutions to the school-to-prison-pipeline.
