East Palo Alto with relevant, up-to-date, and general

for the community by providing families, businesses
and non-profit organizations with online tools that
increase their capacity to serve.
EPA.net provides community members and
organizations with:
- General, relevant, and up-to-date information about
the community and the City of East Palo Alto

transparency, and inclusiveness of community development
efforts

and training them to use technology to create, produce,
learn, and express.

and
thoughts, and experimenting with technology
Much
of the site's content is contributed by residents who
both report and write for EPA.net. These volunteers
are all committed to building a vibrant, dynamic, and
engaged online culture for EPA.net by inspiring ideas,
fostering community, and amplifying new voices from
East Palo Alto and the Belle Haven neighborhood of east
Menlo Park.
