The energy at the State of Ohio Leadership and Life Skills Summit for Foster Youth was electric!

We had the privilege of engaging with talented and hopeful young adults who were excited to explore the support, training, and opportunities available through Emerge. Big thanks to Doris Edelmann for leading the charge!

Every conversation reinforced the importance of connecting youth with resources that help them thrive. We're grateful to be part of that journey.

Sometimes the simplest encouragement is all it takes to help someone take the next step.

That's what the Emerge community does so well—showing love and support before people even walk through the door. ✨

The Trades Institute Auto Lab has a new set of lifts thanks to the Greenlight Grant through the The Dayton Foundation and a grant through the CLS Foundation Charlie Shor Foundation. 🛻🚘

We are grateful for funders that believe in the power of second chances and workforce development for those on their recovery journey.
