This is for all the lost children, wishing them well, and wishing them home. Every voice matters.

Mission & Vision

The Lost Children Foundation, launched under the Voice of the Youth Project, is dedicated to supporting families in locating and protecting missing children. Leveraging community outreach, partnerships with law enforcement, and technology-driven advocacy, we are committed to ensuring every child’s return to home and safety.

What We Do

• Family Support Services
  Provide guidance, emotional support, and resources to families navigating the trauma and urgency of a missing child situation
• Data & Digital Forensics
  Utilize geolocation tools, social media tracking, digital footprint mapping, and turn the information into actionable tips.
• Community Canvassing & Awareness Campaigns
  Distribute flyers, tap into local networks, and engage youth volunteers to spread awareness in neighborhoods and online.
• Tech Partnerships & Law Enforcement Coordination
  Partner with agencies to assist with tip lines, surveillance gathering, and legal frameworks—always respecting privacy and ethics.

Why It Exists

As part of Voice of the Youth Project, already focused on youth mentoring, mental health, and violence prevention, the Lost Children Foundation represents a deeper, healing-focused branch tackling emergency response: helping missing children reunite with families and raising awareness of child safety issues.
