2012 ... Being intentional |  |
||||
 |
 |
ECHO Youth & Family Services is a not-for-profit organisation, working with young people and families who are struggling with major issues in their lives. |
||||
 |
We are based in the Dandenong Ranges, on the eastern fringes of Melbourne, Australia, in an area designated an interface region. Statistics show that in such areas there is a disproportionate number of social problems. ECHO exists to provide support in an area where youth and family services are often difficult to access. |
||||
 |
To carry out our mission, we have a small but highly effective staff team whose primary role is to lead, equip and coordinate a solid core of loyal volunteers who are dedicated to combatting the destructive forces that exploit those who are the least able to resist them. |
| Governance | We have a proven track record of measurable outcomes. - Letters of commendation from schools, local and State Government and most meaningful of all, stressed families whose lives have been turned around and have been restored with a sense of hope |

| Programs | Our theme for 2011/2012 is 'Being Intentional' - We aim to provide a comprehensive and structured suite of initiatives that address the needs of disadvantaged young people, together with their families, from pre-school right throught to young adulthood. In being intentional we seek to optimise the allocation of financial resources, be thoughtful in the deployment of our volunteer base and efficient in the use of our facilities. |
