Who We Are

We are a 100% volunteer community that exists with the sole purpose of helping the youth at Echo Glen Juvenile Detention Center to rewrite the scripts of their lives.

These teens have immense untapped potential. We help them gain self-esteem by providing essential building blocks for healthy development thus breaking the cycle of neglect and abuse.  We believe every young person has incredible potential, and we are committed to helping them build self-worth, gain healthy life skills, and realize that their past does not define their future.

What We Do

Goals:

  • Empower growth: Help youth develop confidence, responsibility, and resilience through positive experiences and caring adult role models.
  • Build connection: Bridge the gap between the community and the youth inside Echo Glen through volunteer programs, creativity, and shared humanity.
  • Support healing: Provide opportunities that nurture emotional well-being, kindness, and self-discovery.
  • Inspire change: Encourage every young person to believe in their potential and take steps toward a better tomorrow.
