First Exposures is a San Francisco-based, nationally recognized youth mentoring program that that leverages the power of mentoring relationships and photography to empower young people to thrive, express themselves creatively, and become leaders in their communities. Cited as a model program by the State of California, First Exposures strives to make a major long-term difference in the lives of high-need, underserved Bay Area youth by providing an accessible venue for them to enhance their self-confidence, develop their creativity, and gain a passion for learning. Each First Exposures student is matched one to one with a photographer who provides individualized guidance and serves as a volunteer mentor and positive role model. This mentor relationship helps students to develop artistic skills, forge connections, and fulfill their potential. Students use photography to express themselves visually and verbally as they learn science, math and literacy skills that promote academic success. During each session students create projects that are presented to the public, such as bus shelter art, billboard displays, published books, and gallery exhibitions. By sharing their work in public exhibitions and celebratory receptions, students gain pride in their accomplishments and develop strong connections with their communities that help them succeed in other areas of their lives.

he Fred T. Korematsu Institute educates to advance racial equity, social justice, and human rights for all.
The Korematsu Institute (KI) promotes the importance of remembering one of the most blatant forms of racial profiling in U.S. history, the incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II, by bridging the Fred Korematsu story with various topics in history including other civil rights heroes and movements, World War II, the Constitution, global human rights and Asian American history. The Institute makes connections to present-day civil rights discrimination and political scapegoating such as mass incarceration, anti-immigrant sentiment, and Islamaphobia. We work toward building solidarity and partnerships with other groups and organizations to accomplish our mission.

In 2009 the Fred T. Korematsu Institute was founded to honor Fred Korematsu’s legacy. It originally was a local community and education program, and our vision changed in 2010 as a result of Fred Korematsu Day of Civil Liberties and the Constitution being established in California. We have become a national
organization that inspires others through the Fred Korematsu story.
