Here's a quick perspective on our approach to being part of individual, organizational, and societal transformation.
Making positive change real happens via Layers (one by one), Linkages (one by one), and Levers (one by one). It’s never easy, and making it SUSTAINABLE takes all of us, working in community. Yes, images for Good uses photography – but that’s one of our tools, and not the main point. We believe in teamwork, leadership, and service…and in making a difference IN and THROUGH students.
Please reach out to us – let’s see how we can work together with your unique gifts and perspectives!

Mr. Lewis -- Thank you for your lifetime of passion, vision, energy, and blood shed for freedom and equality. May each of us rise up to the challenges and sacrifices of Good Trouble. There is still far too much left undone that blocks us ALL from justice.
During a commencement address in 2016, Lewis told Bates College graduates how he had been inspired by Martin Luther King Jr. to “get into trouble, good trouble,” and advised them that “you must find a way to get in the way and get in good trouble, necessary trouble … You have a moral obligation, a mission, and a mandate, when you leave here, to go out and seek justice for all. You can do it. You must do it.”
"When you see something that is not right, not fair, not just, you have to speak up. You have to say something; you have to do something" - John Lewis (February 21, 1940 – July 17, 2020)

Light and darkness naturally intertwine, and were especially pronounced at this day of remembrance’s memorial service.
images for Good stepped forward to serve photographically at Arlington National Cemetery with one on-site photographer – who then in turn worked with 10 Student Artists and 3 other adult Life/Photography Mentors to select and enhance a set of photographs to give to the family.
“Young Life at a Funeral” is dedicated to Robert, Lisa, and Ethan – and all those that hold them dear. And during this time of coronavirus sacrifice and loss, may each of us find a way to lift others, using whatever gift we may have.
