How We Help Improve the World
EP2 seeks to improve the quality of life for urban children/youth and their families through empowerment strategies that enhance knowledge and critical thinking skills, clarify values, and create viable priorities for productive living. In addition to working with families and communities, EP2 must engage service providers and members of the general public in accomplishing its mission. EP2 accepts tax-free monetary donations and in-kind contributions in support of its programs.

During our 2020 Virtual Summer Camp, Dr. Collins conducted a live reading of a book she co-authored entitled, Something Happened in our Town: A Child's Story about Racial Injustice.
