A Role Model for all Teens in 2009

Diamond Fields founded the Diamond Fields Project at the age of 16 years old.

He wanted an organization that would help teens acroos the globe who was homeless and broke!!

This volunteer opportunity hits home and close to heart, Diamond was a homeless teenager himself.

Now that he is older (21) is now going back to help other teenagers that are homeless. His volunteers are

all teenagers boys and girls of all races. Diamond mission is help as many teens as possible.

Homeless teens often face a double disconnect - from family and from school.

If they're on the run from abuse, a diploma might be the last thing on their minds. Or problems at school could have been the spark that put them in conflict with their parents.

Nearly 1.7 million young people either ran away or were thrown out of their homes in 1999, according to a Department of Justice report - and advocates say there's little funding to gather up-to-date figures. Even when teens are part of a family that's experiencing homelessness together, constant moves make it hard to stay on track academically. Students with high mobility rates are only half as likely to graduate from high school, studies suggest.

Part of the problem is that the welcome mat isn't always out for homeless teens, despite laws designed to remove barriers to their education.

 

Diamond is now raising funds to open his 1st homeless shelter for Teenagers from all across america. Our
Goal for the shelter will began spring 2009. The shelter will have mentors, cancelors, free meals, clothing, Ged classes,
hope for the future and job training ect..for Homeless Teenagers world wide.
