UCLA Epstein Program Statement

Applying to UCLA, looking to apply for the Epstein Program. How is the essay supposed to read? I'm struggling to see it as a narrative essay prompt, but I've also heard not to use it like a job cover letter. Right now my essay is a lot like a cover letter. Starts with past experience, then what UCLA-specific courses and program work I'd like to do to compliment it, my future goals and concrete steps to take to reach them, and a summary of all that.
I do have about a year's worth of work in social justice, seven years work at low-income schools, and experience working for four nonprofits. Will the Epstein reviewers want that in my essay, or just to pick it up off my resume?
Thanks

and happy New Years!
