EPIC YOUTH

This week on EPIC Voices Podcast, we had a multigenerational conversation about manhood. Different perspectives, viewpoints, and truths. Stay tuned for the full episode.

Last night, our EPIC Youth Young Professionals Program participated in a workshop focused on networking and professionalism, helping students build the skills and confidence needed for future career opportunities.

A huge thank you to our partners at Huntington National Bank for investing in the next generation of leaders.

Special thanks to Kelly J.F. Blackmon for leading such an insightful session, EPIC Youth board member Daphne McKinnie for always supporting our mission, and Terri Lynn Erskine for organizing this meaningful experience for our students.

We’re grateful for partners who continue to pour into our youth!
