HIGHLOW PROJECT

http://www.highlowproject.org/ is a collection of photographs and audio narrations that capture high and low moments from the lives of VT youth at risk.

Photographer Ned Castle collaborated with youth living in difficult situations throughout Vermont.  This project is a collection of their photos and audio recordings that tell their stories.  The collection is traveling around the state.

The main purpose of this project is to make people aware of the plight of homeless and at-risk youth.  It is sponsored by The Vermont Coalition of Runaway & Homeless Youth Programs, a coalition of thirteen community agencies who provide a safety net for these youth.
This is an example of the tribe looking out for the young.  With the outlet of photography provided to them, these kids have had the arts door opened.  If you live in Vermont please support these artists and the agencies who are helping them.
