ETC Project
Eugene's Looking Glass Evaluation and Treatment Center (ETC) serves girls ages 11-17 who have had troubled experiences, including abuse, delinquency, mental health issues, and familial difficulties. It uses a variety of techniques to reach girls who have not responded to customary forms of intervention. Due to budget and staff cuts, the ETC struggles to maintain its program.
Soroptimist Eugene has made a commitment to help the ETC program stay afloat. It the last few years, it has:
- Written and received a $10,000 grant for continuation of the program.
- Purchased and donated an institutional sanitizer and 15 institutional quality mattresses.
- Purchased an industrial washer and dryer
- Purchased a central copier/printer.
Members also provide monthly service support, including painting bedrooms, supplying additional bedding, and arranging haircuts for girls at local salons. They also have furnished "reward" items for staff use in the treatment program, hosted a Valentines party, and supplied tickets to community events.
