AN UPDATE FROM OUR DIRECTOR:
"I am, because we are." That Ubuntu philosophy has existed for generations, and perfectly encapsulates the importance of our EPIC volunteers. For the past 41 years, EPIC has been able to serve and support thousands of families, but there is no way we could have done that without the tireless work of the community members that have advocated for us so strongly.
Our founder, Robert Wilson, knew that it took a village to raise a child. He built EPIC on the foundation of joining families, schools and communities together to raise children to be responsible and successful adults. To everyone who has shared their time, talent, voice and resources with us- THANK YOU! Because of you, all things are possible.
As we slowly transition into this next stage of the pandemic, EPIC is offering a new volunteer opportunity, as we seek to learn more about what parents need and how we can support them. We will be hosting a series of focus groups and are currently seeking participants for the following sessions:
- Thursday, May 6 at 6:30 pm
- Wednesday, May 26 at 11 am
- Tuesday, May 11 at 6:30 pm
- Saturday, May 22 at 10 am
Parents only need to attend one of the 75-minute group sessions, and will receive a $30 Amazon gift card for their participation. For more information or to register, please click here.
In gratitude,
Tara
Tara N. Burgess, Executive Director
and the entire EPIC team
