Participate and share: Interactive session 
The objective for this presentation is to share how nonprofit organizations in under-resourced communities are engaging their students in programs that support their ability to reflect, create, and share with authentic audiences materials that communicate lived experience and support global awareness. During this presentation we will share the Team4Tech model, highlighting our work with education focused nonprofit organizations using edtech as a lever for change. In addition we will share the programs of 100cameras and highlight how those programs build capacity for nonprofit organizations and schools working to empower students and provide agency in using their voice to affect local change.
Team4TEch is a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing educational opportunities in under-resourced communities. Team4Tech helps nonprofit organizations improve programming by providing technological solutions and pro bono consulting provided by skilled volunteers. Each collaboration is carefully co-designed with nonprofit partners like 100cameras and like minded corporate partners like Cisco, Adobe, Zendesk, and more.
100cameras is a nonprofit organization that works with youth around the world and we teach them to process and tell their stories through photography in a way that impacts how they view themselves and their role in their community. Through their programs, youth are empowering their voice and the important role in their great communities.
