Oakland Unified School District
THE ASK
OUSD wanted to showcase different elementary schools across the district and feature students during their lunch hour. Because this was a small contract, they needed to find a team that had the proper insurance policy already in place to work inside the schools. On top of that challenge, they only had two months left before the end of the school year and nine different school sites to feature.
THE ANSWER
YouthBeat’s close relationship with the school district means we have the proper insurance requirements to work at their school sites and it is something we do often. Within a matter of weeks we coordinated with staff from the nine different schools and captured beautiful photographs that OUSD loved!
THE IMPACT
"I learned not only to work with the camera but also to be in an environment where there are many children. I learned to be very attentive and try the best to capture each child in the school quickly since there were a lot of them and not much time."
