[about]


 

Star Shooter is a non-profit organization since July 2, 2008 and has a 501(c)3 tax exempt status.  

Star Shooter implements culturally adaptive and client-centered workshops to children aged 8-18 with the flexibility of one-day to one-semester interventions.  The workshops can be conducted with an individual or in a group setting.  The child will learn digital photography techniques using a camera, mac computers and adobe photoshop software.  A culminating project will be assigned for the child upon completion of a class.

Johnna Brynn Bockover is the founder of Star Shooter.  Johnna holds a MA in Psychology and has 6 years of experience working with abused and neglected children in residential, community and alternative school settings.  Many of these children faced issues such as anger management, sexual abuse and mood disorders.  Johnna taught photography as art therapy to delinquent youth during this time with great success.  The youth experienced changes with an increase in self-esteem, positive behaviors and displayed improvements in their education. 

Johnna is a professional photographer that has a passion to see hurting children healed.  She uses phototherapy as a technique that will allow children to use photography as the catalyst for communication, change and healing.  Johnna offers a unique therapeutic tool to aid children in their vital and delicate process of restoration.
