About the Systas
Hawaiian Epps
Director of Outreach Services/Program Manager



Mrs. Epps volunteer spirit and leadership skills were sparked as a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. However, they flourished during her four years supervising an independent living program. She intends to teach the youth she serves that always putting GOD first will help them overcome the obstacles that are bound to impede their progress along the road of life.

Mrs. Epps is primarily responsible for establishing positive collaborative relationships between S4S and other community based organizations. In addition to customizing the Survival Course Curriculum for our community partners, she also secures and coordinates all of the contracts for the SYSTAS in the SYSTEM Program and completes program reports for the Board of Directors.

Because of her positive and energetic personality, Mrs. Epps was selected to be SYSTAS 4 SYSTAS, Inc.’s Public Relations Director, although her background may suggest otherwise. She received both her elementary and high school education from the Newark Public School System before she went on to obtain a Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice from Lincoln University in Pennsylvania. Prior to her current job at the Department of Public Advocate, she worked for five years with the Essex County Division of Citizens Services in Newark.

Since her tenure began, S4S has been featured in many of the Essex County areas local publications and talk shows, as well as many national and international publications. And she can most certainly be credited with the phenomenal success of the Survival Course Program. Moreover, Mrs. Epps was integral to the development of the three day training course for S4S that teaches volunteers how to identify behaviors that may indicate when a participant is experiencing emotional/psychological issues.
