EchoX

Our name, EchoX, stands for Ethnic Cultural Heritage Online Exchange, a place for sharing and exchanging stories, experiences, and information.

EchoX is a digital equity advocacy organization that empowers and amplifies cultural communities through digital technologies and the power of story. Our pioneering portal crosses barriers and connects cultures by cultivating spaces that amplify voices, connect communities, and empower future generations.

Ten years ago, the co-founders of EchoX met with Northwest community leaders, organizations, and educators. They learned that the largest concern for our region’s ethnic community organizations was online visibility.

In response, we created this pioneering portal that crosses barriers and connects cultures by cultivating spaces that amplify voices, connect communities, and empower future generations.

At EchoX, we believe that everyone has a story to tell and that communities can reclaim space to define their narratives with their own voices. Our vision: a community in harmony with its diversity.

Centering Digital Equity

EchoX was founded to advance digital equity by increasing the digital visibility of cultural communities and their work, advancing digital access and literacy for BIPOC teens, and providing free, culturally responsive, intersectional programs and services.

DIGITIZE: A youth-driven program for collaboration and creative expression. This hybrid program creates space for teens to express their identities in a supportive peer-to-peer environment, while increasing their access to digital literacy.
