Looking for Host Home Volunteers!

 

Looking Glass' Rural Program is now recruiting Host Home volunteers! We're looking for adults who have space for youth and are willing to open their home to them for temporary emergency housing (1 to 21 nights) in the Cottage Grove and Creswell areas.

Looking Glass provides training and comprehensive support to Host Home providers 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Host Home providers receive a generous monthly stipend (regardless of whether or not youth are placed in the home any given month) as well as an added stipend for each night a youth is in the home.

If you are interested and want to learn more, please give us a call at our Rural Program: 541.767.3823. We greatly appreciate your constant support!

New Shelter Program for Youth Coming Soon!!

Coming Soon!  Looking Glass Community Services in partnership with the State of Oregon’s Department of Human Services and Lane County is excited to announce the opening of a new shelter program for youth.  We are now hiring for all program positions in an effort to begin this important service in our community as soon as possible.  Please visit our website at www.lookingglass.us for employment opportunities.     

The Looking Glass Shelter is a community-based treatment shelter for males and females, ages 12 – 18.  While sheltered, youth will receive behavioral rehabilitation services including individual, family, and group counseling.  Lengths of stay will be individualized and based on youth and family need.  The shelter will open with a capacity of 14 and with potential to grow that capacity to 21 youth/night.

Whole Kids Foundation Contribution!

Looking Glass has received a $2,000 from the Whole Kids Foundation to sustain and grow our Stepping Stone Learning Garden. At-risk youth in our program use the garden to learn a variety of scientific concepts as well as grow, harvest, and prepare nutritious food for the school cafeteria. Stepping Stone’s Learning Garden is an example of what is possible when at-risk youth, many of whom have been written off or considered destined for a life “in the system,” are given the opportunity and resources to change their way of thinking, coping, and interacting with the world around them. We invest in these youth in the same way that they invest in their garden; with care, time, patience, and support, they too can grow, change, and reap the rewards of their hard work. Thank you Whole Kids Foundation for your generous support of Looking Glass’ Stepping Stone program!
