EPIC is on a mission to transform the future of vulnerable children, youth, their parents and their communities. In cities and neighborhoods marked by poverty, crime, low academic performance, and substance abuse, we’re in the business of transforming the lives of young people – one day at a time.

We do this through programs that offer students activities that excite, engage and interest them and couple these activities with character training, and positive reinforcement. We want kids to know that there are choices in life and those choices can often determine the trajectory of a more promising future. In doing so they themselves become leaders.
