Supporting kids who have had so much trauma in their lives is rewarding but is also very emotionally draining. Staff is weary! Clearly they stay because they genuinely care for the youth and want to make a difference. Let’s rally as a community and demonstrate to them that we think they are heroes and we know that what they do REALLY matters. They are transforming the lives of the current residents, their future families, communities and beyond!
Staff Apprec iation
Tell the staff that they are appreciated through:
- CARDS - Community groups & individuals make encouraging cards telling them how much you value what they do. More here: https://www.echoglen.org/encouragestaff/
- APPRECIATION GIFT BAGS - provide chocolate, gift cards for coffee/tea, pampering gifts, or anything you or your group can think of to encourage the staff.
- PIZZA & SNACKS - Any recommendations? Have a contact with a socially conscious company like Mod Pizza?

Mission Statement
We are a 100% volunteer community that exists with the sole purpose of helping the youth at Echo Glen Juvenile Detention Center, who have so much untapped potential, to REWRITE THE SCRIPTS OF THEIR LIVES.
Description
We help these teens gain self-esteem by providing essential building blocks for healthy development thus breaking the cycle of neglect and abuse. Our goal is to surround the youth with caring adult role models who give an active listening ear while participating in a wide variety of activities.
Echo Glen is a Washington State juvenile detention facility and a school operated by the Issaquah School District. The facility has approximately 125, male and female, youth in residence, ranging in age from 10 to 20 years old. They come from every part of the state, and all have great untapped potential.
National studies show that 80 to 85 percent of youth in the juvenile justice system have at one time been removed from their homes due to abuse or neglect. This seems to be a continuous cycle-one that Echo Glen staff is determined to break. Nearly all of these young people have dangerously low self-esteem; they crave positive attention from adults and need good role models.
Please join us in supporting these youth!
