Southeast Evanston Parents Association (SEPA)

SOUTHEAST EVANSTON PARENTS ASSOCIATION (SEPA) was founded in August 1996, by a group of mostly single low-income parents wanting to make a difference in their lives and lives of their children, and the Evanston community. Later we expanded to other area north of Chicago in 2010 we relocated to Lake County where we now resided and support families here in Lake County Illinois. This a non-for-profit grassroots organization determined to challenge parents, schools and their local government. They did this by going to PTA, School Board, City Council and Neighborhood meetings. By developing partnerships with the school, Police Department, Churches, City Officials and many community organizations. We also Challenge the parents to attend these meetings and forums and come back to SEPA's workshop and discuss what they heard and give their opinion in our forum so when they attend other they will be comfortable to speak in their Own Voice. In return we plan family trips dinners and seasonal parties with gift give away. Over the years we have expanded Our boundaries to include parents wanting make a difference in the life of their child(ren).
