EDUCATION. PARTNERSHIP. INCLUSION. COUNSELING.

EPIC (Education, Partnership, Inclusion, Counseling) is a program provided by JFCS which integrates support services into your students’ classrooms.

EPIC spans the full Pre-K through 8th grade spectrum of needs from identifying young children who may be in need of early intervention to guiding students towards independence in preparation for high school. We believe that students should be able to participate in their preferred school regardless of diagnoses or academic achievement.

If you would like more information on EPIC, please contact Lauren Lodato at LLodato@jfcsjax.org.

 

How EPIC Supports Your Family

  • Observations within the learning environment to pinpoint needs

The fund will ignite a community-wide endeavor to use education, conversation, and interaction to combat the root causes of bias and will help augment short-term local security initiatives that are already underway in the Jewish community.

 

This generous gift will also support the ongoing work of local organizations, as well as new projects and programs—specifically, completing the funding needed for the Community Security Initiative (CSI), supporting the creation of the Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC), and contributing to the work of OneJax.

"My family is fiercely devoted to the greater Jacksonville community, and we see this as an opportunity to show each other and the world that Jacksonville is better than the rogue comments of a misguided few. The time is now to forge alliances and promote education so everyone in our community can reach their personal potential in a just and equitable society that we are proud to call our home."

- David Miller
