Supporter Spotlight // Namaste and Glow Sticks
What could be better than Yoga? Yoga that supports your favorite cause. We take health pretty seriously at Invisible Children…IC Running Club, the Health and Wellness Committee…they’re actual things, people. But the work hard, play hard mentality prevails and we know how to throw a good party (example: Global Dance Night. Am I right, or […]
Citizen Spotlight: The Right People, In the Right Places
This spring, Invisible Children’s Citizen team (our in-house political advocacy gurus) have been working together with incredible activists across the country to make sure some key members of Congress, with special positions of influence, stay committed to bringing Joseph Kony to justice and supporting communities targeted by LRA violence. When 12-year-old Ciara Doherty answered our […]
The Traveling Writers
Don’t get us wrong – our two staff writers are perfectly content working out of our San Diego office (they’re both SD natives). When they heard the news that they were traveling to Uganda to visit our Gulu and Kampala offices and tour our programs, though, it’s safe to say they were more than willing […]
Supporter Spotlight // Age ain’t nothing but a number
It is in the moments of decision that your fate is determined. It’s undeniable that the slightest encounters of the universe have the possibility of changing your life. This is called fate, which we embrace wholeheartedly at Invisible Children. Filling out the wrong online form, opening your home to a stranger, and stumbling upon a […]
Supporter Spotlight // A Birthday Story
Sweet sixteen parties: we’re all about them and we’re not ashamed to admit it. Turning the big 1-6 only happens once and Invisible Children supporter Elizabeth found a way to make it count. How, you ask? Elizabeth used her milestone 16th birthday as a way to show her abundance of passion for IC. The party […]
In Talks: Richie James Follin of Guards
Richie James Follin (far right in that .jpg) has been in a few bands in his time – most notably The Willowz, Cults, and – the current project – Guards. Developed from a desire to just write some songs, Guards stands today as a three-piece – Richie, Ted Humphrey, and Kaylie Church. They’re a Brooklyn-based […]
A little Q&A with Amy Eldon Turteltaub
As previously discussed, we have a new-ishly formed Advisory Council (but you already know that since you read our blog religiously, right?) This dream team of 22 provides advice, ideas, and support in areas relevant to their expertise which include but are not limited to human rights, entertainment, brand management, leadership, and overall awesomeness. One […]
In the hotseat with Jared & Alyx
Little known fact: more people work in our Invisible Children Uganda offices than in our headquarters in San Diego. There are 107 staff members that man the IC ship in Uganda and two of them recently flew in for a quick visit (and by quick, we mean they flew 14,000+ miles for a 3-day visit.) […]
Behind the scenes with Adam Finck
Meet Adam Finck. Yes, he’s good looking. But he’s also a smarty-pants and is our Director of Programs in central Africa. He recently traveled to DR Congo and brought along his handy iPhone. Which obviously translates to behind-the-scenes-instagram-filtered photos.
Inside the mind of the design(er)
If you’ve ever looked on our online store and wondered how we got so fashionable (stop, you’re making us blush!) then there is one person you need to know. Juan-David Quinones, Invisible Children’s product designer. Below is his interview with one of our elves (aka our Social Media Assistant, Carl) about our 2012 holiday product […]
