During this workshop Karina one of our board members came in and led a workshop on how to create a podcast. Karina walked our mentees through essential steps that need to be taken in order to create an effective podcast. Our mentees took what they learned from Karina and used their new podcast knowledge to create a podcast of their own!
Thank you Karina for leading our mentees through this workshop!
Our mentees were able to experience taking pictures at the Quinn Center here in Maywood. They took pictures of the kids at the Quinn Center’s annual summer camp and they were able to put into practice what they had been learning from previous workshops. We got tons of great content that showcased their new photography skills!
We are grateful to have collaborated with the Quinn Center!
During our summer mentorship we were able to really dig in deep in learning how to take headshots! They were divided up into groups and had the opportunity to creatively photograph one another! Our Executive Director Jasmine Lopez led this workshop and taught the mentees how to direct people during a photo shoot.
Thank you Jasmine!
