Invisible Youth Applies for Grant

Invisible Youth Network's dream of giving San Diego's homeless youths a home is closer to a reality.

Invisible Youth has recently applied for a grant through My Hometown Helper for $15,000. The money will be used to provide a residential center to house as many of the 2000 homeless youth as possible in the San Diego, CA area.

• This is an admirable project that Chairman and Founder Russell Hartsaw has put much energy and time into and received support for from other people in the community.
• To volunteer you don't need to live locally. Other options are becoming an online mentor or donating food, money or supplies.
• Dana Lefey Maeve who is the Vice Chairman of Invisible Youth Network has applied for the requested grant money. She has also worked hard and put in many volunteer hours to bring more publicity to these invisible youth who are in need of a safe home. She offers many free online mentoring courses at Invisible Youth Network.
• Ainsley Jo Phillips has also been very active and volunteered much of her time towards this worthy cause. You can read more about what Ainsley has been up to at her blog Virtual Homemaker. She's an amazing woman with a huge heart as are many other members of the group.

Helping these youth get off the street and into safe homes helps everyone as it helps reduce the likelihood of more crime and will spare some of them from going off to prison.

If everyone's community banded together like this group has done I think the world would be a better place.

Invisible Youth Network provides resources to bring awareness about homeless youth in their community and other cities in the US. They now have non-profit status.
