Jason Michael Carroll and Arista Nashville have teamed up with the National Runaway Switchboard to raise awareness of the runaway crisis in America.  Jason’s second single “Hurry Home” off of his album Growing Up is Getting Old portrays the struggles of a father and his runaway daughter.

Jason’s song speaks to millions of people from youth to parents to siblings and families who are affected every day by a young person’s decision to run from home. He is committed to helping address this national crisis,” said Maureen Blaha, NRS executive director. “This is an opportunity for a long-term relationship that will help further our mission of keeping America’s runaway and at-risk youth safe and off the streets.”

Jason feels he can be a voice since his family was personally touched by the runaway crisis.

“I was so young when my aunt left home that I grew up not knowing who she was – just someone we prayed for every night,” says Carroll. “For all the families who are missing someone dear to them, and for all the young people who need a hand getting home, or staying home, I hope that what we’re doing can help bring attention to an important issue and to the great resources available through NRS.”

Jason is assuming the role of spokesperson for the NRS. Public service announcments and public appearances on behalf of the organization are currently underway.
