Winner: Best Overall Photo
We love this creative photo from VIP Fellow Nick Larson, and we've picked it as our Best Overall Photo! Nick serves with The Link: Youth in Action through Cal Poly SLO. Here is some of what Nick had to say about this photo:
"One of the most difficult populations with whom I have ever worked is eighth grade boys. I discovered this while taking a group of six middle school students on an overnight camping trip with students who are part of a gang prevention program for at-risk youth. They were a group with very-little-to-no previous experience with activities like kayaking, hiking, and camping, not to mention being away from computers, tv, videogames, and phones. These boys were not perfect angels, but they showed up and participated gladly. Two days and one night in the great outdoors definitely made an impact on them. Two weeks later, they still talked about it. The boys experienced something completely new, their faces revealed a light, and now there are new possibilities that life can bring them."
Congratulations to Luis and Nick! You've got some prizes headed your way!
Now, hold on to the edge of your seat... our video contest winner will be announced next week...
