There are trains, buses, a circled “T,” and subway lines—symbolizing movement and access. The word “NEXT” with the phrase “Navigating Employment and Transition” highlights career pathways, progress, and opportunity, alongside city references like “Entering Boston” and “Boston St,” all in bold, vibrant colors.)

Today we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. His work to build community, fight for justice, and service to others is at the core of EPIC’s mission and is needed just as much today as it was during his life.

Today we had to postpone our day of service events to ensure access and safety, but we look forward to brining the EPIC community together on February 16th to celebrate the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Stay tuned for more details to come.
