Family Connection serves families who have a child with a disability or chronic health condition.
LOOK! is an inspiring photography exhibit highlighting the unique abilities of children and young adults in South Carolina who are living with a disability. Professional photographers volunteer their time and talents during photo sessions capturing the participants in candid moments doing things they like to do best. This annual exhibit is hosted at an opening ceremony at a Columbia venue and travel to additional venues throughout the year. The intent of LOOK! is to help people pause, reflect, and see disability in a thoughtful way. It is a beautiful event that speaks to our goal of creating inclusion, equity, and community.
Each photo in the exhibit has a scannable QR code which links to a story page highlighting the person in the photo. The story pages are part published on our virtual LOOK! gallery, and in the annual "LOOK! Book", which contains all photos and stories from the current year's exhibit. We are seeking volunteers with writing experience to write stories for our 2026 exhibit. You will receive a questionnaire completed by the parent of the child or young person in the photo. Additional guidelines will be provided by Family Connection. Ideal story length is approximately 250 words. Volunteer writers are asked to complete two or more stories within a two-three week timeframe. Writers needed from January - end of March, 2026.
