ImageMakers Teen Photo Team- Community Service in Action

Welcome to a multi-part series sponsored by Sony ImageMakers.

Through Boys & Girls Clubs of America’s (BGCA) national partnership with Sony Electronics, Inc., BGCA invited talented young photographers in our Clubs to advance their photography skills through a special opportunity. During the Keystone Conference, registered attendees who demonstrated an interest in photography and a commitment to growing their talent in this art form were invited to apply for the ImageMakers Teen Photo Team. Below are some of the creative works from the Sony ImageMakers Teen Photo Team.

During this photo assignment, the Sony ImageMakers Teen Photo Team focused on the following theme~

Community Service “In Action”

Angelina- Bigs and Littles This is a community service event some of the Keystoners participate in. They would help young children through tutoring, having fun, and making crafts.

Angelina- Fun in Events This photo was taken during the Family NIght of BGC. It shows how doing community service isn’t just work, but it can be fun and games too!

Danielle- Giving a Little Muscle During the clean-up project, some of the boys thought that a great idea would be to take our picnic table down and wipe them off. There are many events that happen outside where we use the tables and this was an amazing sight to see the boys so passionate to do this so the tables can be enjoyed this summer!

Danielle- The Hand That Keeps on Giving These are some of the members of Gemstones. These members created, wrote a grant, and conducted this project with the support of their teen advisor, Calvin. This picture shows that no matter your age, you can make a large impact.      Regan- A collection of pictures displaying our recent success from our Keystone orphanage drive. As you can see, a myriad of bags and other various products were placed in our drive bins. Although this was a Keystone, event many of the centers kids and staff helped us reach our goal
