ECHO Program
ECHO is a community capacity building project designed to involve many people in a young person’s journey from seeking assistance to establishing themselves within their own lives.
The ECHO program is a 12-week program that supports individuals to feel connected to the place where they live (City of Gold Coast) through a series of learning activities that develops resilience, positive health, life skills and community connectivity.
Youth Homelessness is a community Issue.
Gold Coast Project for Homeless Youth’s vision for seeing meaningful change involves supporting individuals to develop skills, confidence, purpose, involve communities to be active in the care and development process of young people.
The ECHO Program incorporates the ECHO Challenge encouraging community involvement in the process of developing individuals where community members can volunteer to support the ECHO program. We recognize that people have skills, abilities, areas of expertise, a keen willingness to contribute in supporting young people through difficult times, to promote generosity, acceptance and kindness in communities. We are looking for role models, influencers, as well as leaders to accept the ECHO Challenge and support the ECHO Program objectives. Each volunteer will be registered as a Gold Coast ECHO Supporter being recognised for their contribution through media communication and attendance at a Gold Coast Project for Homeless Youth Inc. Annual Event.
