Young Women of Promise

Awarded Generations United Photography Project Grant

Young Women of Promise, Inc. of Kinston, NC  is a recipient of the Generations United 2008 Intergenerational Photography Project.  GU, with the generous support of MetLife Foundation, provided seed grants of $2,000 (two thousand dollars) to ten organizations to develop and conduct their own intergenerational photography project. These projects will bring younger and older people together to learn about photography and take intergenerational photographs that will be submitted to the Generations United 2009 Intergenerational Photography Contest.  In addition to the grant, grantees will also receive technical assistance to conduct their projects.

We are proud to announce that one of our senior participants, Mr. Donald Moye, was a National Finalist in the Generations United annual Photography Contest.
