Anchoring Resilience: Support First Nations & Métis Youth

At Dre Erwin Photography, our mission extends beyond the lens. We believe in the transformative power of Therapeutic Photography to provide a visual anchor for healing and resilience, especially for First Nations and Métis youth in remote Canadian communities.

Your contribution makes a meaningful, direct impact on their journey toward mental well-being and self-discovery.

Here is how you can support this critical mission:

1. Financial Contributions: Funding the Future

Your monetary contributions directly support the foundation of our youth programs (like the Pinehouse Club). Donations go a long way in providing:

Essential Resources: Cameras, lenses, and editing software for training workshops.

Mentorship: Opportunities for ongoing training and mentorship in visual storytelling and photojournalism.

Empowerment: The chance for youth to share their own narratives through a positive, therapeutic medium.

2. Camera Equipment Donations: Pass on the Light

We warmly welcome your donations of gently used cameras and related equipment. These contributions provide invaluable tools for nurturing creativity, self-expression, and therapeutic exploration among young individuals.

Your Impact: Donating your gear ensures that every young person who joins the program has the necessary tools to begin their therapeutic journey and find their voice through the lens.

What We Accept: Gently used DSLR and mirrorless cameras, lenses (prime and zoom), tripods, and monitors.

To Donate Gear: Please follow the instructions in our Equipment Donation Guide or contact us to coordinate the shipment and ensure your equipment reaches the community safely.

Thank you for being a part of our mission to empower the next generation of photographers and make a positive impact on the lives of First Nations and Métis youth through the art of photography. Your generosity enables us to continue anchoring resilience in their communities.
