Want to interact with amazing people while helping with fun activities? Then volunteering for EP!C's Power Team is right for YOU! The individuals who participate in our Host Homes program do different fun activities each Thursday evening at EP!C or out in the community, and we need volunteers to help with these activities while socializing with our folks. Expect to walk away with a bunch of new friends!
Contact Carmen McCarthy, Development Coordinator, at 309-689-3606 or at cmccarthy@epicci.org with any questions or for more information. Minimum age to volunteer is 13; volunteers ages 13 through 15 must be accompanied by an adult. Individual volunteers must go through orientation prior to volunteering at EP!C.
EP!C’s Host Homes Program assists individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities in finding a home designed to encourage independence in a family environment. We match adults of all ages to host families in the communities of their choice. Individuals are supported in a home setting allowing them to become immersed in both community and family life.
