Impact Statements

 My granddaughter has been in my custody for 3yrs now.  We went through another mentoring program previously & didn't have many complaints, but it seemed more like a babysitting service than mentoring.  Someone recommended S.W.A.G., so we decided to "try" it, although my granddaughter was hesitant & wanted to stay in her comfort zone with our previous program.

We are sooooooooooooo grateful we made this decision.  Rebecca has blossomed & flourished in S.W.A.G.  Watching her confidence grow has been beautiful.  S.W.A.G. gives her opportunities to try things she never would try on her own. The group encourages each other & works as a team, which is much needed in this world today.

​ Phyllis runs an incredible mentoring program that teaches young ladies leadership, teamwork, confidence & teaches them to advocate for themselves & others.  All of the volunteers are incredible role models!  I cannot praise this program enough & wish there was a program similar for male teens also!     ~ SHERRY
I can't compliment ECLN enough for what they have done for my daughter and her fellow students in the group.  I highly recommend the program to anyone that has a daughter who is looking for new opportunities with community involvement and fun interactive activities that will prepare them for early adulthood.     ~ GARRET

​As a mother, it is comforting to watch my child blossom and develop.  I believe ECLN/SWAG has been a major factor in her personal improvement.  I am thankful for their time and attention given towards the young ladies.     ~ MICHELLE
​Bless you and Phyllis for the work you do with ECLN.  Targeting leadership skills/opportunities for middle school young women is such a crucial demographic destined to have a lasting impact.     ~ CINDY
