Youth group uses photo class to help troubled students

Jennifer Burke spent part of last year at the Bethany Medical Center being treated for depression, she said.
After her release from the center, she joined a youth group in November and has a new perspective on life.
Burke, 16, is one of several teenagers involved in the Step Program, a Kansas City, Kan., social service group geared toward counseling teenagers with drug and alcohol problems.
She said that the program had helped her since she left the center.
"It it's opened my eyes to a lot of things, and it's good support," she said.
Yesterday, students from the Step Program toured and photographed the KU campus.
Students in the program currently are attending a photography class sponsored by Associated Youth Services, taught by G. Mark Smith.
Jim DeGraw, the program's recreation counselor, said it was mandatory that the students had group counseling before they participated in program activities.
"It's an outpatient program," he said. "The kids come in every evening and go through counseling. Most of the kids are first order offenders with drug and alcohol offenses."
"Most of the kids in the program have never been to a college campus," said DeGraw, who is a KU alumnus. "I thought bringing them up here would be an experience they wouldn't forget for a long time."
Sims, also a KU alumnus, said that he had gotten a positive response from students in the course.
"Six kids have come up to me today and said it was the greatest course ever," Smith said.
Smith, a noted independent visual photo artist, is using a grant he received from the National Endowment for the Arts to teach youth about photography.
"I want them to focus on life in Kansas City, Kansas," Smith said. "I want them to focus on what their life is like in Kansas City, Kansas."
