NYC SALT

NYC SALT is a non-profit digital photography program for teenagers in NYC. Our mission is to engage, inspire and empower our students through classes with leading creative professionals and access to the most relevant tools in the creative industry. The program uses high-end, professional photography and video instruction, combined with college preparation and mentorship to instill in participants the life skills and confidence needed to pursue higher educational and career goals. At the same time, students develop exceptional storytelling skills and first-class portfolios that increase their competitiveness in the college application process, and unlock opportunities for employment while in college and beyond.
