Our Team
Meet the Echos Behind the Change
ECHOS OF CHANGE is being led by Maria Annie Domingues with support from people who believe youth service should be honest, careful, and community-centered from the beginning.
Maria Annie Portela Domingues
"I started ECHOS OF CHANGE because I couldn't stay silent anymore. I saw suffering, injustice, and fear, and I realized that even one voice, when used with courage, can become a spark of hope."
Youth-Led Leadership
Guided by a founder and youth volunteers who are building real service habits step by step.
Creative Storytelling
Artists and storytellers illuminate hidden narratives, building empathy and momentum for change.
Cross-Border Learning
The team can learn from global issues while proving the work through local service first.
How We Work
We are building simple operating habits first: intake, follow-up, consent, event coordination, transparent fundraising, and careful reporting. Team growth should follow real capacity.
Community Partnerships
Partnerships should be listed publicly only after they are real, confirmed, and useful to the work.
Amplifying Voices
Storytelling is consent-first. Young people should control how their names, images, and stories are used.
Courageous Care
Care means clear follow-up, honest capacity limits, and no promises the team cannot keep.
