EMERGE Youth Program

Our youth program removes barriers for youth and places them on a path to self-sufficiency through job achievement, obtaining a credential, apprenticeship, or continuing their education. From College Tours to our Youth Summit, EMERGE is designed to build relationships and trust while providing guidance and counseling until they exit the program.
