	Invisible Youth Network I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself and my organization. I am the Founder & Chairman of the Invisible Youth Network, an expansive online network founded on March 26, 2007 with the purpose of: Providing resources and support for an estimated 1.5 million homeless at risk youth, walking the streets of our city. 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 youth improve their lives. Our focus goes beyond street outreach and extends to deterrence, research, resources, seminars, training and workshops that we provide to the communities and via the Internet. Although our slogan is "Advocating for America''s Youth," our endeavors are towards all homeless and at risk children no matter their geographical location. The local media''s have estimated that there are approximately 4,000 homeless youth walking the streets of San Diego, California alone. One more day to these youth is like an eternity. One more day is another chance for a predator to take advantage of them. One more night to sleep on a cardboard box in an alley way, one more morning to wake up alone and wonder why you were given the hand you were dealt. One more day to have those all too familiar defeating thoughts and emotions, one more day to makes their dreams fade a way into nothing. One more day to go hungry and try to stave off the hunger with half eaten dumpsite food or bad tasting water. Our one more day in paradise is one more treacherous lie to them, one more betrayal, one more... We need to help them now. Our volunteers at IYN are dedicating their lives and time to helping them get off the street, and away from the threat of becoming one more death, one more rape, one more crime, one more suicide, one more desperate act that sends them to prison, one more... We ask you to think about this, join us, and reach-out and make a difference in these kids' lives. Please visit our Invisible Youth web site for an overview of our organization and endeavors. http://invisibleyouthnetwork.community.officelive.com/default.aspx Russell T.

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 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.
