Kids At Risk Action - Invisible Children

Kids At Risk Action is a passionate and unapologetic voice for at-risk youth which was launched in 2001 by Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) volunteer Mike Tikkanen. The organization aims to engage the community in the discussion about, and action in service of neglected and abused children, solving America’s most prevalent public health problem.

As a Volunteer Guardian ad Litem since 1996, Mike helped to remove fifty children from toxic homes. He saw firsthand how children are left voiceless and helpless in their homes, the legislatures, and the courts that control their lives.

Through his book, INVISIBLE CHILDREN, hundreds of articles, and numerous speaking engagements, including at the United Nations, Mike and KARA have engaged teachers, social workers, lawyers, judges, police officers, parents, students, health professionals, and citizens in supporting people, programs, and policies to improve the lives of at-risk children.
