Invisible People

Entered in Humanitarian Creator of the Year

Objectives

Mark Horvath knows firsthand how powerful a story can be. As someone who has experienced homelessness himself, he has turned his personal experience into a lifelong commitment to changing how the world sees homelessness.

 

Through Invisible People, the nonprofit he founded and leads as CEO, Horvath uses video storytelling, social media, and journalism to humanize people experiencing homelessness and challenge the misconceptions surrounding it. Reaching more than 20 million people monthly, Invisible People brings overlooked stories into public view, builds empathy, and encourages audiences to take action toward meaningful solutions.

 

Horvath’s work demonstrates how storytelling can do more than raise awareness. It can change the conversation around an issue and help move people toward change.
