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!

We had an amazing turnout at our annual All-Staff Meeting this year. It was great to see so many people eager to learn more about the different programs within the agency and the hardworking people that make up Looking Glass Community Services.
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.
Looking Glass Community Services attended the International Women's Day Forum Luncheon hosted by Zonta International. During the event they discussed gender wage equality as Zonta's platform focuses on advancing the status of women worldwide. We had a wonderful time!
