City Year is an education-focused non-profit organization that unites young people of all backgrounds for a year of full-time service to keep students in school and on track to graduation. The City Year DC team at Neval Thomas Elementary School worked with Shootback project founder Lana Wong to teach photography and writing skills to a group of second to fifth graders from February to May 2014. The students' photographs were exhibited at the City Year Idealism in Action Gala, the DC Public Schools Annual Art Exhibition at Reagan National Airport, and the DC Public Education Fund's Art Night auction at the Pepco Edison Place Gallery in support of arts programs in the DC Public Schools. The young photographers also presented their work at two assemblies for the entire student body and family members at Thomas Elementary School.
