Invisible Youth is an expansive online network that provides resources and support for homeless, at risk youth and related organizations.
We do this, every day, in cities across America. We carry out our mission through our partner organizations and volunteers who go to the streets in order to find, stabilize and otherwise help homeless and at risk...(more) youth improve their lives.
Our focus goes beyond street outreach and extends to deterrence, research, resource, seminars, training and workshops that we provide to the communities and via the Internet. But all facets of our mission are guided by that our volunteers shall tell kids that they care about them and then, at every point, prove it.
Although our slogan is “Advocating for America's Youth,” our endeavors are towards all homeless and at risk children no matter their geographical location, this being done by getting the word out about various other organizations who have programs in different parts of the world that help to give vision, visibility, and voice to their local youth.
I would like to invite you to visit: our website, for an overview of the Invisible Youth Network.
Two things happened when I turned 12, my Father who used to beat the hell out of us left home and the other thing that happened is I started using drugs... One of my friends said 'Here try this it...(more) will make you feel better', and it did. When I turned 13, my Mum found a new partner who lived at home with us. He raped me regularly and abused my younger sisters as well. I was only 13. The last time I tried to kill myself I only had a syringe to slash up with so I was hacking at myself trying to get myself bleeding properly. Then I sniffed paint until I blacked out. To have the confidence to actually do something about where you are is especially hard because you have to build up that confidence. By the end of the time you come on the streets you've lost all confidence in yourself and you think I cant do it even if I try I'm not going to be able to do it. This is why these kids need our help. Their pride, their self confidence, their will to live have been stripped away. They see no light at the end of the tunnel. Someone has to bring them that light. Who is it going to be?(less)
