Meet future world leader Meredith Hoffman. Though, if you’ve fundraised for our most recent #zeroLRA campaign, went to the Fourth Estate Leadership Summit 2013 or have ever been to Dallas, you probably already know her. Meredith is quite a popular and loved name around the Invisible Children office. Is it because she has raised over […]

Invisible Children is a pretty rad place to work. Besides the incredibly rewarding (intense, exhausting) work we do to reach our goal of #zeroLRA, we have an incredibly innovative office culture that rejuvenates our brains. Dress up days, 4 o’clock Fridays, random employee appreciation days, dance breaks during lunch, the IC running club, and for the […]

I suppose it’s human nature to mold people into a preconceived category or stereotype. But sometimes, when you’re lucky, you meet someone who is too complex to fit any grouping at all. For me, that was true of  a 21-year-old Visual Communication Design major at Virginia Tech. Becca Grogan seems to be a jack of […]

Activist, Father, Grandpa, Gardener…Jeff Man plays multiple roles and defies many stereotypes because of a very powerful force behind him – his family. Bear with me on this one, the list is lengthy: Leah, Wife Cliff, Son Michaela, Daughter-in-law Megan, Daughter Emmanuel, Son-in-law Sarah, Daughter Rachel, Daughter Hannah, Granddaughter Every single one is at the […]

Allow me introduce you to C.J. Campbell. A seemingly typical 26-year-old from Rockford, Illinois who enjoys such things as spoken word poetry, watching Fight Club, reading The Prophet, and eating falafels. But that is where any and all typical things end. Because extraordinary people just cannot be referred to as typical. Cerebral Palsy has confined […]

We’re super excited to see Justin in a few weeks at UCLA and super grateful for the big moves he made to be able to attend […]

Ladies and gentlemen, meet C.J. Campbell. He loves spoken word poetry, volunteers regularly in the drug and alcohol recovery program at his local rescue mission, and has started a weekly YouTube show about disability liberation and integration called Cerebral Conversations. C.J. is not shy about the fact that he endures a battle against Cerebral Palsy […]

We’re continuing our four-part model video series this week by featuring our Mobilization Programs. Accompanying the premiere of our weekly videos, we have a four question blog series which highlights a staff member that works within that program. Meet Zach Barrows. He is our Movement Director, a former teacher, a new dad, and most people around […]

Invisible Children doesn’t stop at documenting atrocities or activating youth or protecting civilians or rehabilitating post-conflict communities. We do it all. And we do it through a four-part model that focuses exclusively on the LRA conflict, addressing it in its entirety: immediate needs and long-term effects. One of the four parts of the comprehensive model is Mobilization. For the past […]

Kristen applied for our Fourth Estate Summit and didn’t have enough money saved up to cover her costs. So she punched apathy in the face and took to Facebook, proceeding to raise the funds she needed within 24 hours. We love a go-getter almost as much as we love the generosity of family and friends.
