A New Undertaking

If you follow me on Twitter!, you've seen me tweet about something new that I'm involved in and very excited about. I've recently gotten involved with the Invisible Youth Network. Our slogan is "Advocating for America's Youth," and we focus on helping youth get off the streets and assist those that are. The media has estimated that there are nearly 4,000 homeless youth in San Diego alone.

Although headquartered in San Diego, California, Invisible Youth Network is a national organization focusing on helping our youth. Our belief is that one more day makes a difference in these kids' lives, and can truly make all the difference. Not only do we want to assist youth on the streets, but we want to help prevent them from being there in the first place. Although the reasons for their situation may vary, we can all do a part to help them.

What can we do? First and foremost, we must spread awareness. Many people aren't even aware of the situation these youth are in, let alone thinking of how they can help.

Please visit our website to find out more about who we are and how you can get involved.
