Special Projects
EPIC frequently runs special projects which sometimes become core projects. They often arise from community needs and/or funding partner requests and we frequently partner with other community organizations in the implementation of them.
We are excited about our two newest projects:
ADAPT :: 2024
Access & Development of Affiliated Peer Tutoring
EPIC was contacted in August 2024 by The Joyce Family Foundation with a query about EPIC’s programs and funding needs. Follow-up discussion and an EPIC funding application to the Joyce Family Foundation resulted in October approval of a 5-year EPIC project called ADAPT which aims to ensure program access for marginalized youth who live far from Youth Peer sites and spawn 4 new peer tutoring sites administered by Youth Peer partner organizations assisted by EPIC. Two of the new sites were operational by mid-November 2024 and the other two are expected to start soon after.​
