Invisible Children Values // Jump first, fear later

And maybe in that moment, you took a deep breath and jumped. You did it. And if you are reading this, you survived. And […]
Invisible Children’s values // All in the attitude
At Invisible Children HQ, we talk a lot about “the big why” – the purpose that drives our organization and the way we approach our mission of ending LRA violence. We have a few core values that guide our work, make us think, and challenge us to grow. Read on for a glimpse of what […]
Independence Day // Celebrating Freedom
Today, we celebrate being part of a great country that believes in freedom for all. Since the beginning, our nation has declared that all people have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

On the road // Interns volunteer at Warped Tour
We’ve been keeping tabs on our Warped Tour Roadies as they travel across the country and spread the word about Invisible Children.

The World Cup // When we play together, we win together
Over the past week (and it’s safe to say for the next month) in the Invisible Children office, you can find people sneaking off to our warehouse to watch the World Cup while doing their work. We even have a tiny soccer field set up so that we can play during lunch. There is a spirit […]
Reblog // NPR and “The ‘KONY 2012’ effect”
Over the weekend, our friends over at National Public Radio (NPR) wrote a piece on us entitled “The ‘KONY 2012’ Effect: Recovering from a Viral Sensation.” As we’ve said before and we’ll say again, we love NPR. So, we really appreciated their thoughtful article on us. But we wanted to quickly correct two errors in the […]
From the long road south // Jedidiah’s updates from his bike trip to Patagonia, Entry #7
Update from Machu Picchu When I was in eighth grade, I had to decide what foreign language I was going to study in high school. I remember well the debate in my head between Spanish and French. If I chose French, I would have the best teacher at our school. Everyone knew Mr. Climer was […]
