Ways to co-create
Ways to Support EPICS Community Pathways
EPICS Community Pathways believes everyone deserves access to meaningful career and life exploration, self-discovery, and opportunities for personal growth. Organizations, businesses, foundations, libraries, and community groups can support this mission in several ways.
Sponsor a Program
Organizations may sponsor a career exploration, professional development, or personal growth program for a specific audience or community. Sponsorship can help cover program materials, facilitator fees, participant access, and related resources, allowing individuals to participate at little or no cost.
Sponsor a Single Event
Support a one-time workshop, conference presentation, career fair, summer program, staff development session, or community event. Event sponsorships provide opportunities to deliver engaging, hands-on, and reflective experiences for participants while expanding access to valuable educational programming.
Create a Community Partnership
EPICS Community Pathways welcomes partnerships with libraries, schools, workforce agencies, nonprofits, businesses, and community organizations. Together, we can design customized programs and initiatives that address local needs while expanding access to career exploration and personal development resources.
Develop a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
Organizations interested in a long-term relationship may establish a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) outlining shared goals, responsibilities, and opportunities for collaboration. An MOU provides a framework for working together to deliver programs, share resources, seek funding opportunities, and support community impact.
Fund the Back-End Infrastructure
Behind every successful program is the technology, administration, curriculum development, and support systems that make it possible. Contributions that support operational infrastructure help maintain and improve EPICS resources, expand access, develop new content, and ensure programs remain affordable and sustainable.
Provide General Support
Unrestricted gifts and donations allow EPICS Community Pathways to respond to emerging needs, develop new initiatives, support underserved communities, and invest where resources can make the greatest impact. General support provides the flexibility needed to grow and sustain our mission.
