Now Being Sent Out To San Diego Media & Craig's List

Earlier today, I received a copy of something that Russell is sending out to all of the major medias in San Diego, California and is posting on Craig's List as well.  

The purpose of this is to bring to light what is needed on a local level.  However, IYN is an international organization with a mission to provide help wherever it's needed and however we can.  

Of course, we can only do so much, but we'd like to do as much as possible.  Much of what we're able to do depends on you the reader.  

Donations help, setting up local chapters helps, and continuing to spread the word about us helps.  

Please read what's posted below and contact us to find out what you can do!


In the next few minutes this will be sent out to all of the major medias in San Diego, California, including posted on craigslist.


Are you familiar with our organization, Invisible Youth Network, which was officially launched on March 26, 2007 for the purpose of reaching out to homeless youth.
 
If not, you might want to become familiar with us by visiting our main website at: http://invisibleyouthnetwork.net

We are currently focusing our efforts towards providing an estimated 4,000 homeless youth walking the streets of San Diego, California a youth drop in center and emergency shelter, where they will have their immediate needs addressed and where they will have access to partner resources which will help them develop the skills necessary to become a responsible and productive members of the community and society as a whole.


We are actively seeking sponsorships and partnerships, and expanding our Board of Directors and street outreach to include new members, that be you!

These young people have been failed by the adults and the systems that were supposed to protect them. We can't undo their histories, but we can give them the support and tools to have a successful future.

This is an opportunity to make a positive difference and impact in the lives of San Diego's homeless youth. 

How we differ from other organizations:

 


  • We have no paid positions, everyone is a volunteer. 
     



  • We have no fancy offices or expense accounts, all volunteers work out of their home/offices.
     



  • 90% of all donations go to our projects and programs.







  • 10% of all donations go to operational expenses.




    Our founder & Chairman Russell T. Hartsaw is a former homeless youth, gang member and has spent 44 years of his life incarcerated. He has been there and done that, in the process he has witnesses many youth destroyed.
