Meet Avery Epps, director of Life Enrichment at Givens Estates, who has joined our team and now will lead the Life Enrichment Department in creating activities, programs, experiences and cultural fulfillment offerings for residents.

Avery has more than 17 years of experience in program development, wellness initiatives, and community engagement. He is passionate about creating meaningful experiences that enhance quality of life.

Along with his service as a non-commissioned officer in the U.S. Marine Corps, his background includes leadership roles at YMCA Camp Weaver, Foundations Asheville, and wilderness therapy programs, where he specialized in developing holistic programs that promote physical, emotional, and social well-being.

Avery is dedicated to fostering a vibrant and inclusive environment where residents can thrive through engaging activities, lifelong learning, and strong community connections.

At Givens Estates, life enrichment goes beyond classes or online workshops. Our wellness philosophy is a comprehensive and active pursuit of a healthy, balanced life, with opportunities that support holistic living, personal growth, and individual fulfillment.
