YOUTH IN FOCUS: PHOTOGRAPHS REVEAL CREATVITY OF DETROIT CHILDREN AND REFLECT SUCCESS OF PARTNERSHIP WITH WOODBRIDGE COMMUNITY CENTER The exhibition includes a new section devoted to the photography of children from the Woodbridge Community Youth Center in Detroit. Kids enrolled in photography classes, taught by respected photojournalist Monica A. Morgan, were invited to enter their work in a special category of the 2010-2011 Artists at Work program. It’s designed to encourage development of their artistic talents and showcase their creativity. Judges chose the best photograph from among those submitted by the five children who entered the competition. Each of the selected photographs is 8” x 12”. A B This initiative represents an expansion of the partnership between the Woodbridge youth center, UAW-Chrysler National Training Center and the Leave the Light on Foundation. The foundation, established by UAW Vice President General Holiefield, director of the union’s Chrysler Department, has supported the center’s mission of providing a diverse after-school program for disadvantaged youth. That support includes funding for the photography classes. Since it opened in June 2007, the center has offered a safe haven and maintained a program that fills a void created by a severe shortage of youth services in Detroit’s historic Woodbridge community near Wayne State University.
