Streetcats Foundation.
http://www.child.net/street.htm

STREETCATS, with its familiar blue-and-yellow jeeps, worked miracles on city streets, getting teens and young adult victims of abuse that other counselors, police and probation officers had given up on, off alcohol and other drugs, reconciled with loved ones and into productive lives. The STREETCATS program is a model for other cities. STREETCATS FOUNDATION now sponsors the annual national KIDS N' NEED radio-thons (beginning in 1996), produces the national radio public service announcement advocacy series "Through the Eyes of a Child," administers the NATIONAL CHILDREN'S COALITION (an educational and membership organization for children and youth workers and advocates and their organizations) and it produces the content for the new Internet World Wide Web site, Youth and Children Resource Net.
