We’ve had the privilege of watching Tavi, Deja, Anderson, and Alex grow, learn, and succeed. They’ve grown into exceptional young people—nurtured by the support, education, and care that define our community. We thank them for choosing to continue including us in their journey to adulthood. We can’t wait to see what they’ll accomplish next!

As an organization, we know the positive impact alumni have as staff and volunteers. EPH alumni who return as staff or volunteers serve as role models and mentors to our students. They understand the community our students come from because it’s their community, too. Their achievements inspire the next generation of students to imagine future opportunities. This positive influence ripples from students to their families and beyond, creating multigenerational social bonds and strengthening our community.

We are proud of all EPH alumni, and are deeply touched when they choose to give back by joining our work to enable more children and families to succeed.
