EPYCS

El Pomar Youth in Community Service (EPYCS) is a leadership experience that teaches high school students the importance of service, philanthropy and the nonprofit sector, while empowering them to directly impact Colorado communities through grant making.

Both programs are open to all high school age students. The students learn about non-profits, community service, fundraising and collaborating with community leaders.
