Exposure works closely with local schools and agencies such as Haringey Youth Service, Haringey Connexions, the Haringey Youth Offending Service, the Haringey Pupil Support Unit, Haringey Education and Business Partnership,  VInvolved (a youth volunteering agency), Harington Scheme, Haringey Adult Learning, Haringey Children and Adolescent Mental Health Services to provide short and medium-term media work-experience and training opportunities for young volunteers.  Over the last year Exposure was in contact with 235 young people of whom 192 participated in Exposure activities. Of these, 138 made a tangible contribution to Exposure's work with 113 gaining a formal accreditation. Exposure worked with 17 young people classed as NEET or at serious risk of becoming NEET, while an additional 11 had special needs or were demonstrably disadvantagedin some other way. Most of Exposure's young volunteers came from Haringey and of these some 38% were from Tottenham, 18% from Wood Green, 16% from Crouch End/Hornsey, 15% from Highgate/Muswell Hill and 14% from Haringey/Finsbury Park.  In addition, 16% of Exposure's young volunteers came from Enfield (the majority from Edmonton), 9% from Islington, 3% from Hackney and 2% from Barnet. Exposure's young volunteers go on to access a range of employment, education and training opportunities. Exposure is regularly asked to provide references for former volunteers by educational establishments and employers. Exposure's volunteer recruitment activities have been funded by a Haringey Local Area Agreement. It is hoped that funding will be secured to continue the work in the future. My work experience at Exposure has taught me many things to do with graphic design. When I first came I didn't know anything. I started training with Luke who taught me how to create and edit images using Photoshop and Illustrator. Exposure is an equal opportunity organisation. They don't discriminate against gender and ethnic groups. Everyone is welcome. You can get involved in any of the activities. Overall I have really enjoyed my work experience and this was thanks to all the staff. I have had fun and it has been a pleasure to work with them. Ernest Ayenor
