Since 2006, Ludacris (Chris Bridges) has lent his voice to the National Runaway Switchboard (NRS) and recorded a Public Service Announcement in an effort to raise awareness of the youth runaway crisis in America.

The NRS say that during times of change, such as the approaching end of the school year, calls to the 1-800-RUNAWAY crisis hotline tend to increase. It is hoped that the between 1.6 and 2.8 million youths that run away each year will Ludacris’ public service announcement and become aware of the help they and their families can receive from NRS.


Luda will be featured in a radio and television PSA to introduce NRS' live chat service at www.1800RUNAWAY.org - a new option for youth and teens to access a crisis intervention specialist and connect to resources such as shelter, food, medical and legal assistance.

We tip our hat to you Mr Bridges!
