Every child needs
to feel safe and
understood
But when children are:
Struggling academically or socially in school…
school can be overwhelming
Facing difficulty on the homefront…
home can be overwhelming
Feeling lost or alone…
life can be overwhelming
EPIC familY answers the call
Our mentors give kids the emotional space, resiliency, and self-confidence necessary to overcome their challenges and lead wholesome lives.
And most importantly, they give them the practical tools to advance beyond their challenges.
A mentorship is:
The non-judgmental adult who gives them permission to open up
The safe space that gives them permission to unwind
The address that gives them permission to make themselves heard
It takes a village role model to build up a child
