About Us
Our name, EchoX, stands for Ethnic Cultural Heritage Online Exchange, a place for sharing and exchanging stories, experiences, and information.
Our Story
EchoX is a digital equity advocacy organization that empowers and amplifies cultural communities through digital technologies and the power of story.
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 is a community in harmony with its diversity.
Centering Digital Equity
EchoX was founded to advance digital equity by increasing the online presence of cultural communities and their work. We also focus on expanding digital access and literacy for BIPOC teens, providing free, culturally responsive, intersectional programs and services.

Our Service Area
We primarily serve cultural communities in Washington State, but continue to broaden our programs and services for communities around the Northwest. This year, our goal is to increase representation in our programs for Eastern Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Alaska.
Help us increase representation by emailing organizations, events, and community stories to info@echox.org from your area or community.
