Join VisionWorkshops Fundraiser for Youth!
Tax deductible
Support the power of mentorship.
In celebration of our 20th anniversary, we’re organizing a series of very special sessions in 2021 & 2022 highlighting some of the most critical issues of our time. We’ll be working with youth in our own backyard, exploring issues of race and community in Annapolis, Maryland. We’ll offer a month-long mentoring opportunity for refugee youth in upstate New York. And we’ll be listening to orphan voices in India, allowing their unique perspectives to be heard.
We’re asking friends and supporters to join us and help make these life-changing events possible.

“In 8th grade I was a participant in a VisionWorkshops program. When I was 28 years old I instructed my first VW program with my organization B.L.A.C.K. Excel, and now I’m a Community Liaison for the program. VisionWorkshops not only inspired me to become a photographer, but also to give back to my community by creating similar programs.
We can shine a light on each of our stories from behind the lens.”
-Dee Ward, Annapolis Maryland
“I got new experiences, and hope. Photography has opened my eyes to new dreams.”
-Bishnu Bajgai, Refugee Youth Project, Baltimore
WHAT DO WE DO?
We use the tools of the journalist; the word and the photograph, to help young people tell their stories.
HOW DO WE DO IT?
We bring world-class mentorship and dynamic educational opportunities to children who are rarely exposed to this kind of immersive experience.
WHO IS INVOLVED?
We work with youth all over the world, from our neighborhoods here in Annapolis and Baltimore, to northern India, Colombia, and across the United States. We’ve implemented more than 150 projects in the past 20 years, all tailored to the communities in which we serve. Our partnerships in these communities, from B.L.A.C.K. Excel in Annapolis to the Annenberg Space for Photography, are invaluable.
