EPIC Assist: 30 years of meaningful employment
30 years ago, EPIC Assist was founded with the mission to make a difference in the lives of people with disability.
When the small, but passionate, team of four staff members opened their doors for the very first time in 1990, they never could have imagined the impact that their little service would grow to achieve in the next three decades.
Three states, 48 service centres, and over 250 staff members later, and they’re still working hard every day to change lives. Over the last 30 years, they've helped tens of thousands of people with disability find meaningful, sustainable employment.
