The media has estimated that there are approximately 4,000 homeless youth walking the streets of San Diego, California.

Would you believe that there are very few organizations that address the issues of homeless youth?

Even more distressing is how the business/professional communities, government agencies, and even the religious communities could care less. These kids non-voters who are neither huge consumers nor significant contributors to collection plates are generally seen as not really any concern of afore mentioned groups. However there are, thankfully, exceptions to this rule.

Now steps the Invisible Youth Network into the picture.

The Invisible Youth Network is committed to recruiting individuals interested in working with homeless youth as youth advocates. Our volunteers continue to come and remain with us because of their own commitment to the work we do. Both the work that they do and the experience that they gain is invaluable to all involved!

Our goal is to continue to motivate people to become engaged in activities that are in the best interests of homeless youth.

At the present time we are looking for 18 individuals to sit on our new Board of Directors to help us with planning, strategy and implementation of programs directed at homeless youth.

High School, college and university students are encouraged to apply, after all this is a youth related organization.

All volunteer benefits are available to you:

1. Community Service Awards
2. Community Service Credits

4, Resume Entries
