We are on a mission to educate young minds and inspiring hope filled futures.
Education can come in many forms. We believe that by mentoring our youth and exposing them to a multitude of opportunities to discover who they are as individuals and tap into their strengths we can lead them down a path that will open doors for a happy healthy life!
We envision a community of youth living inspired, confidently embracing their gifts, talents and interest to make informed positive choices for their health, education and relationships.
Bullying and Suicide are not just school issues. It’s up to us as a village, working together to enact change. During Mental Health Awareness month WeECHO Youth Community Services partnered with Corewell Health to certify our community in Youth Mental Health First Aide. It' all of our jobs as parents, teachers, advocates, mentors and leaders to learn how to recognize when a youth may be in crisis and help minimize the risks.
Suicide is the second leading cause of death in youth ages 10-24 years of age. Bully victims are between 2 to 9 times more likely to consider suicide than non-victims, according to studies by Yale University. We believe that by raising awareness, providing proper resources and training to our youth, their families and communities we will enact positive change towards these pressing issues. Bullying and Suicide are not just school issues. It’s up to us as a village, working together to enact change.
We are also addressing the identity crisis many of our youth face by helping youth develop a strong sense of self in 10 key areas of their lives including: Personality, Health & Wellness, Leisure, Spirituality, Money, Relationships, Higher Learning, Careers and Giving.
By educating, engaging and inspiring those that we serve, we are changing the trajectory of the youth culture! One person, one mind, one day at a time for a lifetime!
