Looking Glass Community Services is a private nonprofit organization focused on teens and families through a broad range of social services. Based in Eugene, Oregon, the agency began in 1970 after Deborah Waernes, then a 17-year-old runaway, mobilized community members to address youth crises. From its volunteer-led origins, Looking Glass has grown into the region's largest private nonprofit provider serving troubled youth in Lane County. Over the years, the organization expanded its mission to serve the evolving needs of children, youth, and families with a broad service footprint and a strong volunteer network. In 2026, Looking Glass partnered with Shift Community Cycles to bring 50 bikes to its youth, illustrating ongoing collaboration with local groups.
