Become a TPT/ECHO Community Outreach Coordinator:  Community Outreach Coordinators serve limited English speaking communities in a variety of ways.

  • ECHO TV hosts lend their talent to our monthly programming, presenting health and safety information on-camera.
  • ECHO Captioners provide open-captions for ECHO’s multi-language television programs in English, to aid ECHO TV viewers in learning English.  
  • ECHO Ambassadors attend community events to put ECHO’s critical resources in the hands of the limited English speakers who need them most.
  • Behind-the-scenes:  ECHO spokespeople also provide the voices for ECHO’s phoneline, bringing timely health and safety tips to hundreds of Minnesotans in 10 languages.
