Since 1965, the Economic Opportunities Council (EOC) has been the leader in community action in Indian River County. Understanding that lasting change is not created in a vacuum, EOC’s role includes coordinating and facilitating community partnerships whereby collective resources are used wisely and services are not duplicated among clients.
It takes all of us working together and focused on the goal before us: transitioning individuals and families from poverty to self-sufficiency. When accomplishing that goal in a meaningful way, we are truly helping people and changing lives.
EOC has a long, successful track record of providing high-quality programs and services to low-income children and families. EOC has administered Head Start in Indian River County since 1966 and in Okeechobee County since 1995. Our centers are National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) accredited. EOC has prepared approximately 15,600 students for Kindergarten. EOC's other programs provide emergency financial assistance, education and vocational training opportunities, individual/family case management, money management, and help move clients away from public assistance towards self-sufficiency. EOC received the United Way's Agency Excellence Award in 2018.
Mission Statement:
To transition at-risk individuals and families from poverty to self-sufficiency through our agency programs and public/private partnerships.
Vision Statement:
To be a partner in the creation of a community wherein low-income individuals and families, especially at-risk populations, will have the opportunity to become educated, self-sufficient, improve the conditions in which they live, and achieve their full potential.
