What began as a small volunteer network in West Jordan has grown into a trusted nonprofit serving families across Utah.
Led by community organizer Charles O Idehen, the association was built to close everyday service gaps for immigrant and low-income families. Early efforts focused on translation support, school enrollment guidance, and emergency referrals. As trust grew, so did program scope, partnerships, and volunteer leadership.
Local volunteers launched monthly support circles for newly arrived families in West Jordan.
Organization leadership formalized operations and expanded referral partnerships with service providers.
After-school tutoring and family literacy programming reached over 250 youth participants.
EDO ASSOCIATION OF UTAH now supports families across multiple cities with volunteer-led programs.
