Meet the Team
ALLISON MILEWSKI Founder & Principal
|
Allison Milewski launched MediaForward in 2012 to provide innovative marketing, fundraising, and education & instructional design resources tailored to the needs, interests, and unique experiences of diverse nonprofit and media production organizations. She has worked extensively in arts and media education and international and domestic program development primarily in Southeast Asia with a focus on gender equality, human rights, and youth empowerment. She has also implemented arts & media-based academic programs for over 20 New York City public schools and art + therapy integration programs for youth in short and long term foster care across New York. Her curricula for Independent Television Services received the prestigious endorsement of The National Council for the Social Studies and were the most frequently downloaded resources in ITVS's Community Classroom collection. |
In 2005, Allison founded PhotoForward to provide educators and learners in under-served communities in Southeast Asia and the United States with the resources and skills to share their stories through photography, documentary film, community research, and media arts. She has since worked with hundreds of educators, youth, and adult students and has developed professional development training workshops and resources for organizations in the U.S., Europe, and Asia.
Through PhotoForward's partnership with the Traditional Arts and Ethnology Centre museum in Luang Prabang, Laos, Allison co-curated the exhibition "Caregivers to Culture Keepers: Stories from Women in a Changing Laos" that was open from 2014-2016 and viewed by more than 40,000 visitors. The exhibition featured documentary and curatorial work developed by 28 local women and girls during their participation in PhotoForward's two-year Stitching Our Stories workshop series. Stitching Our Stories was also featured as part of Between History and New Horizons: Photographs of Women, Work, and Community in Laos at the Asia Society Texas Center in Houston as well as at dozens of film, arts, and cultural festivals across Asia, Europe, and the United States. Allison represented PhotoForward as a speaker at the 58th United Nations Commission on the Status of Women and PhotoForward's programs and participants were also featured at the 59th United Nations Commission on the Status of Women.
Allison is currently the Director of Philanthropy & Marketing for Citizen Schools and her professional experience includes extensive work for domestic and international NGOs such as the Center for Reproductive Rights, PCI Media I, Urban Arts Partnership, Goods for Good International, Union Square Awards for Grassroots Activism, and the Fund for the City of New York. She also partnered with the John W. Gardner Center for Youth and Their Communities at Stanford University to develop and implement Map Your World, a multi-platform project that puts the power of new technologies into the hands of young change agents, enabling them to map, track, and improve the health of their own communities.
Allison completed a micro-Masters Degree in Instructional Design and Technology at the University of Maryland in 2024, has attended the Literacy through Photography Institute at Duke University’s Center for Documentary Studies, the certificate program for Creative Arts Therapy at The New School, and received a BA in Liberal Arts from the New School for Social Research with a concentration in Media Studies and Gender Studies. She is a member of the United Nations' International Women's Caucus for Art and the International Rescue Committee's Inter-agency Network for Education in Emergencies (INEE).
Allison has lived and worked extensively in Laos and Cambodia and currently resides in New York City.
