Located adjacent to Atlanta, we are here to instill hope for a greater future in Smyrna area children and youth.

Our focus is on 4th to 8th graders, to assist them with school work, provide mentoring, expand their horizons, and have fun.  As we enter our 3rd year the fall of 2010, we will also include 9th graders who have been with us during the 2009-2010 school year.

VISION STATEMENT

 The Echo Effect is dedicated to helping Smyrna’s youth strive to learn through education and mentoring. 

Our goal is to encourage forward movement through improving self esteem, motivation, and creating a positive vision of our youth's future.  Producing these qualities within each youth will then naturally progress into an effect which will stimulate youth outside of the organization to do as their peers are; learning, motivating, and self empowering to strive for a better future. Much as an echo can be heard down a long hallway, our vision is to see this echo move through our children and youth of Smyrna.

We are geared towards supporting youth in yearning for their own successes and encouraging them to echo their experiences with others.
