Homeless Youth Awareness Month

November is Homeless Youth Awareness Month, and Virgin Mobile's re*generation campaign is turning out to be one of the big players in disseminating info about the month. The re*generation campaign is a campaign to get youth involved with helping other youth.

This month I'm going to focus on youth by sharing articles and statistics, hopefully on a daily basis.

Here's the link to an article about the campaign:

Stand Up For Kids is Calling for an End to Youth Homelessness
PR-USA, 11/06/2007
STANDUP FOR KIDS, a national volunteer organization whose work with homeless youth has been acknowledged by the White House, the Honorable U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ginsburg, and key Senators and House members, has teamed up with ReCelluar, Inc. - the world's largest recycler and reseller of used cellular phones and accessories - to create a nationwide fundraising campaign. The campaign, "Calling An End To Youth Homelessness," encourages individuals, schools, corporations, and organizations to collect old cell phones and cell phone accessories to raise money for STANDUP FOR KIDS' efforts in helping runaway, homeless and street-dependent youth.
