ECHO AND ELEVATE exists to equip UMBC students with self-advocacy skills through interactive scenarios, engaging activities, and faith-based practices. We focus on developing confidence, assertiveness, effective communication, and resilience—empowering students to step into any space knowing their worth and their voice. By fostering a supportive community of strong-willed individuals, we help students build lifelong skills in decision-making, boundary-setting, and navigating challenges in careers, relationships, and beyond.
