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 staff to support management of the project, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have personal transport and can potentially support with other transportation needed, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,998 , allowing us to Invest those funds in programs and promote our organization to bring in even more money to create change in our schools and communities.
We will be doing voter engagement on October 20th and are looking for a photographer to snap photos of our staff and members in action. The documentation of our efforts is essential to keeping the community and our funders in the loop with what we're doing.
Project plan
Our mission
Coleman Advocates for Children and Youth is a member-led, multi-racial community organization working to create a city of hope, justice, and opportunity for all children and families in San Francisco.
What we do
Through grassroots leadership development, youth and parent organizing, budget and policy advocacy, civic engagement and strategic alliance-building, Coleman has transformed public institutions, improved the lives of tens of thousands of residents, and become a national model for community-driven change.
Among other contributions to local movements for education and economic justice, we have:
• Spearheaded campaigns to pass the Children’s Amendment, which now guarantees more than $50 million in annual funding for children and youth services.
• Created new public systems for quality, affordable childcare.
• Won reforms at the SF Juvenile Hall which led to a significant decrease in the unnecessary incarceration of young people of color.
• Won the resources to start 7 school-based Wellness Centers in SFUSD and creating Youth Vote and the SF Youth Commission, through youth-led campaigns.
• Helped to create multiple vehicles for meaningful parent engagement in SFUSD, including the SF Parent Advisory Council.
• Influenced substantive changes to the current MOU between SFUSD and SFPD, in order to prevent unnecessary student referrals to the juvenile justice system.
• Won multiple precedent-setting education equity reforms, including the A-G/College and Career for All Policy in SFUSD and CCSF’s equity-based reforms to its placement testing policies.
• Successfully advocated for a dramatic expansion of the city’s investment in workforce development resources in the Southeast neighborhoods most affected by unemployment.
