History of California1. EPICEPIC is Educational Participation in Communities. This organization involves students as volunteers in the fight against poverty and social abandonment in local communities. The goal is social awareness and student involvement. He says poverty, neglect and social inequality are a growing reality for millions of people in America. Families are losing their homes, people can't find good jobs, children are going hungry, and education in urban centers is a disaster. A problem exists because public and community programs that serve as a safety net to assist such populations are stretched beyond their capacity and are typically understaffed and underfunded. Since they can't do the job without help, EPIC helps. Recruit college students to volunteer in schools, hospitals, community centers, legal aid, probation, youth agencies and other public service programs. EPIC volunteers provide thousands of volunteer hours to the community.2. Earl WarrenEarl Warren was a political leader.
