"I
have had personal experience with the value of learning photography
as a young person. It helped me to develop an understanding of my
relationship to my environment and an appreciation of the diversity
in natural habitats, in my friends and neighbors, and in the
cultures in my community. I wholeheartedly endorse the mission of
Focus on Youth “to empower at-risk youth through photography by
providing creative outlets to experience their world in new ways and
make positive change in their lives.”
Bill Bradbury, Oregon Secretary of State
"Donna Lee is making a difference in the lives of at-risk and homeless
young people by using her professional photography skills and
relationships with other commercial photographer to teach kids how
to use a camera, as well as develop their own work."
Robert D. Scanlan
"American Society of Media Photographers of Oregon
became aware of the good efforts of Focus on Youth through its
executive Director, Donna Lee Holmes. We were impressed with Focus
on Youth’s history of success in playing a vital role in the
community by bringing at-risk youth and adult volunteer mentors
together in a learning experience that supports creative curiosity
and determination while providing these young people with a place
where their creativity can flourish."
