EMPOWER UP - YOUTH ASSISTANCE FUND

The EPIC Coalition understands that every youth requires support that meets them where they are. For children and young adults who are disadvantaged by their economic situation, the challenges can be overwhelming.

EPIC’s mission to promote positive changes for our youth begins with removing barriers by ensuring basic needs are met and opportunities to excel are given.

Whether it’s providing a new pair of shoes, covering a sports registration fee, or ordering a cap and gown for graduation--- EPIC’s Empower Up program is dedicated to providing immediate and confidential assistance to our community’s most vulnerable young people.

Youth age 21 and under
Reside in Cowlitz County
