Letter From Kathleen Z. Braun, APSA (PSA Special Projects Youth Group Advisor),

The main goal of the PSA Youth Showcase is to reach out to young people who will someday be the mainstay of the Photographic Society of America. Working with high school students helps make them aware of our organization. And the rewards for each club and its members is related to the degree of involvement with the school, church group, 4H, or scout group in their area.

Information on working with high school age students (including home-schooled) can be obtained from:
