New Looking Glass Agency Video
We are proud to share this wonderful video which outlines much (but not all) of what our services provide and shares some of our success stories. To tell the entire Looking Glass story, of course, would take hours and hours. This small clip provides a glimpse into how Looking Glass impacts the Lane County community through a variety of important services.
Looking Forward, Giving Back Event Exceeded All Expectations
We partied like it was 1929 - and raised a ton of money for our programs to help Lane County at-risk youth and families build a brighter future. Thank you to all involved in helping make this event a huge success. From event sponsors to event committee members, attendees, volunteers, staff and vendors - this one really took a village and the result was nothing short of spectacular…

At Looking Glass Center Point School, utilizing the latest tech tools helps keep the students engaged and sparks their creativity. The recent acquisition of new Lego Mindstorms education tools was a bit intimidating to the staff at first, but with in-person training provided by a member of the Lego Academy (yes, that's a thing), the staff is feeling confident in its Lego building skills.
