I volunteer for Reachout.com and we have used technology to help young people, initially through the website but also with forums… I would also like to see targeted ads to at risk people – though I'm not familiar enough with keyword capabilities for targeting, one day I hope this would be possible with Facebook. If you right “trigger” words, an ad comes up to direct you to some help in an online environment.

It's all so new and non-profits are often starved of information when it comes to technology – but if you are keen to make this more than an idea I'd love to share thoughts…
