Programs for children and families
Listen, Educate, Advocate
At EPiC, we believe that when those most closely impacted by inequalities share their lived experiences and have a seat at the table, will be in position and empowered to engage, organize, and ultimately advance systemic change for the success of all children.
We listen to families lived experiences. We educate about systems that support academic success of children. And, we advocate to ensure every school has outcomes that are supportive of opportunities, access, and success. We center family voice and experience to determine which programs and activities create meaningful change. As we connect with families, we develop robust programming to establish safe spaces to collectively disrupt, dismantle, and rebuild a better system for our children through parent-led advocacy.
Circle of Hope
Circle of Hope offers a safe, supportive space for like-minded parents/guardians to practice self-care and build community with each other. We will take you on a journey of self-exploration and healing.
Listening Sessions
Our Listening Sessions bring community members together to share their lived experiences with education and systemic inequalities, strengthening connections among parents, caregivers, and educators.
Community Conversations
Community Conversations with educators, parents, and students bring those with lived experience together to offer parent-led solutions that address disparate data driven outcomes found within a school or school system.
Collectives
Families collaborate with one another to form Collective Communities and move from seeing themselves as consumers of service, to gaining positions of leadership and holding power to drive efforts to close the opportunity gap.
