EXPEDITIONS

PHOTO & VIDEO EXPEDITIONS

Our Expeditions are a chance for storytellers to give back with their photo and video talents, to make an impact by visiting and telling stories for grassroots efforts and initiatives around the globe that align with our mission and vision. We partner with different global grassroots non-profits and initiatives (community partners) that align with our vision and mission, and that can truly benefit from partnerships with our community of storytellers. Our community partners curate opportunities to create powerful photo and video stories that they can then use all year long to support their programs. Check back regularly for more additions!
