Echelon is a group of enthusiastic young professionals who are driven by “Doing The Most Good” for those most in need”. Its message is based on the Bible.

Echelon seeks to mobilize the next generation for The Salvation Army by providing opportunities for young adults to engage with the organization through networking, donations and fundraising, and service and volunteering. The Salvation Army pursues its mission 365 days a year and serves the entire community through a number of services, so there are ample opportunities to address needs in the community, improve people’s lives, and influence change. Individuals are expected to be active participants to help the organization impact the community of Chicago. To learn more or sign up, visit https://chicago.salvationarmyechelon.org/. The Salvation Army
Our organization is a nonprofit, tax-exempt charitable organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Donations are tax-deductible as allowed by law. The Salvation Army Metropolitan Division is the administrative unit which provides services to people in need in Greater Chicago, Northern Illinois and Northwestern Indiana.

Its mission is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and to meet human needs in his name without discrimination. The Salvation Army International
When founders William and Catherine Booth began the work in London that would grow to become The Salvation Army, few would have predicted their legacy: an organization, part of the Christian Church, now working in over 131 countries and with a history spanning more than 150 years. Throughout this time there have been millions of members, and people have been helped right across the world – but this movement had humble beginnings.

Two chapters, one shared mission!

This past weekend, The Salvation Army’s Echelon Chicago chapter teamed up with the Echelon MKE board and members for a service day at Wonderland Camp!

Together, we rolled up our sleeves and spent the day removing invasive species to help the local ecosystem thrive and get the camp ready for summer campers. We accomplished months’ worth of work in just ONE day!

Beyond the impact we made, we loved connecting with our Milwaukee friends, meeting new faces, and coming together around our shared mission of Doing the Most Good.

Last week, we hosted our annual networking event!

It was great to connect with potential new members while spending the evening networking, building new relationships, and sharing more about how Echelon supports The Salvation Army’s mission through service and leadership.

A special thank you to Philip Maziarz, Chicago Advisory Board member of The Salvation Army, for hosting us and sharing his story about how he became involved with The Army. We’d also like to thank Captain Jessica Martinez, Associate Chicago Area Commander, and Alex Uzarowicz, Regional Senior Director of Development, for sharing more about The Salvation Army’s impact in the community and for joining us.

Echelon is now on summer break, but mark your calendars for our BBQ Volleyball Kickback on Saturday, September 12!

We look forward to seeing everyone soon!

Back in November, Echelon MKE and our team came together at Wonderland Camp for a service day — and yesterday, we were excited to return and continue the work.

We spent the day removing invasive species to support a healthier ecosystem and prepare the camp for its upcoming season, building on the progress we made in November. The area we worked in this time wasn’t accessible before our initial efforts, making it especially rewarding to see the space restored and wildlife beginning to return.

Beyond the work itself, it was great to reconnect with the Milwaukee chapter and continue strengthening our shared commitment to service.

Save the date: Our next event is a networking event on May 28 after work — more details coming soon.
