Get Involved ... Educational Partnership Committee   The Educational Partnership Committee (EPC) is the service arm of the Torrance Branch of AAUW. The EPC oversees the Branch's two ongoing community service programs: Tech Trek and Power & Promise. This is the place to go if you: Have a desire to give back to the community Have limited time (only need about 1-3 hours per month) Have creative ideas Enjoy a supportive, collaborative group environment Have a commitment to helping young women The committee focuses on programs that will ensure young girls are given the opportunity to realize their full academic and personal potential. The two primary programs currently run by the committee are: Power & Promise Tech Trek These programs have already served hundreds of local area young girls and have made a real difference in their lives. In 2004 the EPC won the first grant award in the Torrance Branch's history when they developed and won a grant proposal to the Copley Foundation for TECH TREK. Our committee has a broad range of activities and roles, including: Working directly with the girls in our programs Supporting one of our programs through: Developing the guidelines and procedures for our programs Introducing new community members to our programs (including school administrators, teachers, parents and businesses) Fundraising, grant writing, direct solicitations Publicity and community outreach Running annual events (there are currently 2 of these) The opportunities for participation are limited only by the enthusiasm and creative ideas of our members and we would love to have you join us for our regular committee activities, or on an "as needed" basis as one of our "Special Projects Team Members."
