EPICS Wabash Center (WC)

EPICS is a service-learning design program in which teams of students partner with local and global community organizations to address human, community, and environmental needs. Our two community partners are the following: Wabash Center – Grant’s House Wabash Center is a comprehensive service provider dedicated to supporting individuals with disabilities or special needs. Their mission is to lead the way in enhancing the quality of life for these individuals and their families through a variety of tailored services and programs. Wabash Center’s Youth Services located at Grant's House is a specialized subsection of the Wabash Center, focusing on providing services for children and young adults aged five to twenty-one. This initiative is central to our youth services, offering a safe and nurturing environment where young individuals can receive afterschool care and participate in emerging adults programs.
