Driven by a desire to make a difference, Exposure's young volunteers are
on a journey of discovery involving media professionals, youth workers,
council officers, teachers, politicians, accountants, bankers and lawyers.
They have made many appearances on television, radio and in
the press, and have collected a number of awards for their outstanding
work and contribution to their community.
The intangible rewards, however, prove to be more important.
The motivation and enthusiasm of the young volunteers is
phenomenal. They take their work seriously and feel a genuine satisfaction
as they achieve
meaningful results, not only for themselves but for other
young people and their community.
Exposure's young volunteers develop into confident decision
makers, questioning and responsive citizens, gentle and
effective peer educators.

The atmosphere at Exposure is always very lively. People are laughing and joking. The staff make you feel welcome and important and always give you praise and help you when your confidence is down. I think that Exposure provides a nice happy environment were teens can hang out and further their media skills. It is nice to get out of the house and Exposure is a great place to go when youíre bored and have nothing to do, or when you just want to get away from things. There is so much that you can do like photography, film, design, editing so there is always something for everyone.
