EMERGE Community Development

EMERGE Minnesota is a community based nonprofit dedicated to connecting community embers with job opportunities and training. The organization offers both adult and youth services, with a focus on improving access to jobs that pay living wages and help individuals to move into a place of financial security. Within their adult services program, EMERGE Minnesota has a specialized program to support individuals who are returning to the community after incarceration. Staff understand that securing employment after incarceration introduces a number of challenges, so the reentry program offers a broad range of services that include housing support, financial assistance and transitional services. The program also includes career advising and training, temporary job placement and ongoing support from staff. The program is dedicated into two divisions, one that serves individuals who have reentered the community, and one that focuses on currently incarcerated individuals.
