All I Want for Christmas
OUR WORK

Teaching children their dreams

matter.

We show each child and youth selected from their schools or living in homeless shelters how to define their dreams visually through photography. Pictures of Hope engages leaders of note in every community including mayors, police chiefs, famous journalists, and business leaders to mentor each child we help. Each child’s heartfelt Picture of Hope shows us what they are hoping for in life.

3. Share With Mentor

Children share their photos with their volunteer mentors, gaining self-esteem by articulating their future hopes with safe and supportive adults.

OUR GALLery

Photos that point
toward a new

future.

The children and youth who participate in Pictures of Hope are often in difficult situations, but that does not mean they do not know about who they want to become. By giving them a camera and an opportunity to document their hopes and dreams, these young people create deeply moving and beautiful art that serves a dual purpose: guiding their future while helping to resource the organizations helping them in the present.
