EPiC Programs

Circle of Hope

 

Individual/Psychoeducational 

 

We understand and support parents’ mental health through our Circle of Hope program in an effort to build parent capacity, share resources and support each other to do the work that lies ahead in disrupting systemic racial inequities in education.

Empowered Families

 

Early Care & Education, K5 and MS/HS parent, caregiver, educator empowerment groups

 

We bridge home and school through creating a safe space to hear from parents/caregivers lived experiences and organize and empower parents/caregivers to collectively advocate for a common goal – high quality, culturally competent education for Black children so they can thrive. 

Join Empowered Families

Community Building
