How to be EPIC

What is EPIC?

E.P.I.C. stands for Empower Peers & Inspire Change. EPIC is a youth-led community organization whose main goal is to stop underage drinking and drug use in their community. They do this through educational events like sticker shocks and locker slams, or through natural high alternatives like anti-420 movie nights, team building days and more. They want to lower the norms of substance misuse among teens and increase positive youth engagement in their community.

EPIC is a subcommittee of our Garfield Prevention Coalition, A Drug Free Communities Grant.
