Call our Youth Hotline at (541)689-3111 Building a better future for children, youth, adults, and families Since 1970, Looking Glass has proudly provided assistance to individuals in our community, helping them lead more productive and fulfilling lives. We offer a wide range of services aimed toward solving challenges related to educational deficits, behavioral health issues, drug addiction, and homelessness. Our organization is nationally accredited by the Council on Accreditation (COA) and is committed to providing exceptional customer service to the children, adolescents, and adults of Lane County. #GivingTuesday This year for Giving Tuesday (Nov. 30) we are attempting to “help the helpers” by raising funds to reward our amazing, hard-working staff with holiday meals and other fun ways to say thank you. Like other organizations, Looking Glass continues to struggle with staffing shortages. Our employees work extremely hard to help at-risk youth recover from abuse, trauma, homelessness, anxiety and more. This work can be quite taxing and we are always striving to find ways to thank our staff. This year, perhaps more than ever, we would love to have more funds to provide something extra to the staff helping to keep our mission going. Join us in supporting the supporters this year by donating funds via our online form. DONATE TO OUR GIVING TUESDAY CAMPAIGN! Holiday Giving Trees Are Back!
