Event Photography
Project details
What we need
- A photographer who will attend the Organization's event to take photos
- A set of professionally edited, high-resolution images delivered in a digital format suitable for web or print use
- Note: The photographer needs to be available in the same geographical location as the Organization or be willing to travel at own expense
What we have in place
- We currently have a date and time set, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have location, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,998 , allowing us to equip refugee newcomers with the academic and social skills they need to succeed in high school and beyond.
One of our favorite GVP traditions is our quarterly Authors' Teas, where students showcase their learning in a performance for community members. We invite the public to join us at these events, held on Friday afternoons throughout the school year. The next GVP Author's Tea will be held at 2PM on December 7th at our school in downtown Decatur.
Project plan
Our mission
At Global Village Project, our mission is to develop a strong educational foundation for each student within a caring community using a strengths-based approach and intensive instruction in English language and literacy, academic subjects, and the arts.
What we do
As a nonprofit middle school, GVP's full-day, tuition-free academic program serves refugee girls from all over the world. Our innovative educational model was designed specifically for refugee girls who have had their education interrupted and have recently been resettled in the U.S. Recognizing the inequities that exist in traditional educational settings for newcomer students, English Language Learners, and other marginalized groups, the GVP model was created as an intervention - a way of doing education differently. As a result, our model is unique in its approach to removing the barriers that refugee learners face and amplifying their voices as young leaders. We provide a three-year program, focused on English language literacy, core academic subjects, and the arts, in the context of a compassionate community and a STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics) framework. Our approach is intensive and highly individualized, emphasizing creativity, critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and confidence.
Testimonials
Ryan was a pleasure to work with. Professional, reliable, and truly skilled at his trade! He was able to bring some students along and we actually got 3 for the price of one! We are looking forward to working with Ryan again in the future if possible.
