EP!C’s Educational Services Program helps individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities build skills, explore interests, and gain knowledge through engaging, productive, and therapeutic day programming. Through a variety of educational opportunities, we work to create an environment where every individual has the support and encouragement they need to thrive.
We invite volunteers to share a special interest, skill, or area of expertise by leading one or more educational sessions. Opportunities are available Monday through Friday mornings and can be tailored to your availability and interests. You may choose to facilitate an ongoing activity, such as a book club, or lead a one-time session, such as a cooking class, art project, or other hands-on learning experience.
Some of our people's interests include
- Crafts
- Biology
- Physics
- Basic Math
- Cooking
- Pickleball
- Sports
- Peoria History
- Local Government
- Music
- Career/Vocational Education
- Art
Please reach out if you have any ideas for an activity or class.
Volunteers who are over the age of 17 and plan to volunteer more than once are required to complete a background check.
