THE CJ WOLFE FOUNDATION IS DEDICATED TO HARNESSING THE POWER OF PHOTOGRAPHY TO UPLIFT UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES.
Creative Programs including photography have been shown to provide benefits that provide young people:
OPPORTUNITIES FOR EXPRESSION
Research shows that youth can channel maladaptive or dangerous instincts, risky behaviors, difficult thoughts and complex emotions into creative products.
COPING MECHANISMS
Creative projects and activities are clinically cited as an effective alternative treatment to cope with trauma.
LOWER STRESS & ANXIETY
Studies conducted at Drexel University detail how study participants engaged in creative activities recorded lower levels of cortisol stress hormone and improved mood and self efficacy.
CRITICAL THINKING DEVELOPMENT
Research shows that creativity is a critical part of developing critical thinking skills, problem solving, motivation, and resilience.

Hosting Youth Photography Classes and Community Events
