Echo Counselors range from matriculating college student to experienced education based veterans. We encourage our counselors to develop sincere relationships with each student that they are assigned to and establish positive relationships. Each counselor is energetic and eager to serve each participant. Counselors must complete a full background check and they have all been cleared to work with minors. All counselors are encouraged to think outside of the box to develop specific programming for their classes according to the theme of the week.
