InvisiYouth ends the first quarter of 2025 with its first collaboration!
We are so proud to be collaborating with Making Space, a talent acquisition and learning platform that creates new pathways to employment and career advancement for disabled people.
Just like InvisiYouth, Making Space is dedicated to continuous learning and advocacy by providing disabled professionals with tools, resources and opportunities so everyone’s potential can be tapped into and society can become more inclusive, equitable and successful.
InvisiYouth and Making Space collaborated in an article called, “How to Land an Internship, Without Experience, as a Chronically Ill/Disabled Professional” now available in a collab Instagram post and a LinkedIn article.
With over seven tips, this article will highlight the ways you can prepare yourself when looking for internships, how to figure out which areas of interest to tap into, the ways to professionally DM slide or email with those in professions you’d like to learn more about, and how to shape your unique life experiences of adaptability and even philanthropy to showcase your value and skillsets getting an internship.
These tips, and so many more, are all available on our joint Instagram post, and LinkedIn article.
Plus, a 2025 goal of our nonprofit to bring you more collaborations for ourselves and with founder Dominique! So if you know of a nonprofit, business, social media platform, podcast or community you feel could be a great collab for InvisiYouth, please email our team at team@invisiyouthcharity.com.
Today is special for two reasons: the first is that it’s Giving Tuesday, meaning your day to give back and donate to nonprofits like InvisiYouth during the holiday season! The second reason is that it marks the start of our Donate Match Campaign!

Again, we have so much gratitude for this and thank you!
We are thrilled to announce that our founder and executive director, Dominique Viel, has been nominated for an award with RARE Champions of Hope, as an Individual Champion in Advocacy.
To give you background on the awards, Global Genes states:
“The RARE Champions of Hope Awards celebrate, honor and recognize those in the rare disease community who are raising the bar through their innovative approaches to research, programming and advocacy to create meaningful impact in the rare disease space. Awardees are beacons of hope in the rare disease community who lean in, take risks and lead collaborative efforts to positively impact the lives of rare disease patients, caregivers and families across the globe.”
These awards are with the nonprofit, Global Genes, and they do amazingly stellar work as they are committed to providing information, resources and connections to all communities affected by rare diseases. This is something that InvisiYouth is passionate about, so for founder Dominique to be recognized by the community means so much.
She was nominated for the RARE Champion in Advocacy (Individual) which is an award that recognizes an individual that’s a rare disease patient or advocacy (which Dominique is both!) who has created innovative programming that supports, educates and empowers their communities in impactful ways.
Please root on Dominique to see if she wins the award, and support all the other nonprofit organizations, advocates and individuals that are being nominated and celebrated for the incredible work they are doing all year long for this incredible rare disease community.

We are heartbroken at the loss of one of InvisiYouth Charity’s longest supporters, and one of founder Dominique’s dearest friends, Travis Flores. He was one of the kindest, most compassionate, intelligent and brightest lights in the philanthropy community, and lived his life with cystic fibrosis with such passion and zest for life. He created a unique lane for himself being an award-winning children’s book author, executive producer and activist and reached so many accolades in his life.
Travis was featured on Season 4 of The CW’s My Last Days, created by Jane the Virgin star and Five Feet Apart director, Justin Baldoni, and opened up about his coming out story to his amazing husband. He used his large social media platform, the #YellowHeartSquad as his fanbase, to also document his journey to have three double lung transplants, and how he always was so resilient to continue to be a truly brave warrior.
With InvisiYouth, Travis was our first returning special guest on our popular video podcast chat show, InvisiYouth Chat Sessions. He was a stellar guest on Season 1 Episode 7, and returned again for Season 2 Episode 25. Please feel free to watch or listen to these episodes to celebrate Travis’ life and get to learn even more about his beautiful personality, humor and talented work.
On a personal note, Travis was a longtime friend of founder Dominique. They shared so many laughs, deep conversations, and a passion to use their experiences to give back to others, while sharing that support with each other.
Founder Dominique stated, “This is one of the most challenging and heartbreaking moments. Thank you for being my friend for all these years, Travis. I will forever be thankful our paths crossed, and we’ve been able to support each other, work together, and laugh together. I’ll miss you always and continue supporting you and keeping you in my heart and memories. Please know that I will always be here to support and send love to your husband, and your family. You’re an amazing and talented person, a beautiful and witty soul, and a remarkable friend. I will forever miss you, and love you lots, my friend.”
We know Dominique and all of the InvisiYouth team will forever miss Travis, and continue to support his loved ones. We will be keeping Travis’ legacy and passions in our hearts, and be also top of our minds as we continue our work and mission so his legacy lives on. We love you, Travis, and will always be here, thinking of you.
