As we wrap up an unforgettable EPIC Summer, we wanted to let our participants do the talking. Throughout the summer, these young people learned new skills, built friendships, discovered their creativity, and made memories that will last a lifetime. But don't just take our word for it...

💬 "I wish I could come here every day."

💬 "EPIC Summer creates opportunities for us to make friends and learn together."

💬 "This was my favorite part of summer break."

These words are a reminder of why we do what we do. Thank you to every volunteer, partner, supporter, and family who helped make this summer so meaningful. Most of all, thank you to our incredible EPIC Summer participants for bringing your energy, curiosity, and kindness every single day.

Keep an eye out for even more opportunities to grow together this fall during our "EPIC Afternoons" after-school program starting in September.

Tomorrow, July 31, marks our very first Kindness Day!

Take a moment to brighten someone’s day - compliment a stranger, lend a hand to a neighbor, or support a cause you’re passionate about. No act of kindness is too small, and there are countless ways to celebrate! Let’s go, Estill!

At our EPIC Summer Media Lab, our teens discovered the power of storytelling through digital media! 🎥✨ They brainstormed ideas together, wrote scripts, and executed their plans! We learned all about how to transform thoughts into tangible messages that can inform, inspire, and connect with others. Along the way, they built valuable communication and technology skills while having plenty of fun and sharing lots of laughs. We loved watching their creativity shine and can’t wait to see where these new skills take them!
