EMERGE
EMERGE is an advocacy and leadership training program for those who identify as women and have been impacted by the criminal justice system.
Our programs provide women with life skills, conflict resolution training, resume assistance, parenting skills, and much more.
In addition, New Hour partners with financial planners for our EMERGE 2.0 program, where women are taught financial literacy and wellness skills.
Our Spring 2022 EMERGE Graduates celebrate their growth and accomplishments.
Our EMERGE program is held every spring and fall, and each session runs for 12 weeks. Click below to learn more or submit your application to join our next cohort.
In The Community
Newsroom
There is an urgent and escalating crisis inside Bedford Hills Correctional Facility.
In just four weeks, three women have died—two by suicide—amid increasingly inhumane conditions. People inside are being denied basic necessities, including access to daily showers and meaningful time out of their cells, while pathways home remain obstructed. Since the arrival of DSS Michael Blot—who faces serious and troubling allegations—conditions have worsened significantly.
We are coming together to demand immediate accountability, the removal of DSS Michael Blot, and an end to the conditions that are costing people their lives.
In this webinar, our host Tiffany Vulcain and panelists Serena Martin, Leah Faria, and Helen 'Skip' Skipper spoke about the challenges women face upon reentry from incarceration and the unique support that communities and service providers can offer.
Representatives from more than 20 Long Island community groups urged Nassau County to sever its partnership with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Thursday, and asked New York lawmakers for legislation to bar state and local agencies from collaborating with federal immigration officials.
