Emerge Mothers Academy is a social service providing support services to single mothers across the Twin cities. At Emerge Mothers Academy single moms have an opportunity to be involved in just one, or all four of our services. Each and all of our services work toward her best interests, and with her family’s future in mind.
Our services include; parenting classes and mentoring, social services and counseling, work preparation, and a micro-loan grant program. Emerge Mothers Academy serves single mothers in the Twin Cities and is headquartered in South Minneapolis at the Center of Belonging.
Personal Development, Constructive Parenting, Health & Wellness, and Financial Independence
Do you remember the first time you heard “You’re hired”? These are such exciting words to hear. At Emerge Mothers Academy we’ve observed that they are the most course-altering words for our moms to hear. They cause her face to turn upward. A smile sweeps across her, and her demeanor is uplifted. Our work-prep program is just one of the four main programs that we offer to women to help them regain their confidence.
Similarly, our parenting classes bring a set of tools to our mothers that make them feel like they’re in charge again. We believe that giving women constructive parenting skills makes them feel more secure in who they are. Parenting is hard, especially alone. If we can give these women the support and tools they need, we can change their entire future. Working, healthy adults, and well-parented children benefit us all, socially and economically.
Authentic and supportive relationships play a crucial role in our personal and professional growth. Through parenting classes and one-on-one mentoring, clients will be provided with practical and emotional support as they gain tools to grow in parenting, professional advancement and life skills.
Through our work readiness program; moms dive deeper into their passions and strengths, attain job skills and an opportunity to approach the professional world with confidence. We assist with resumes, interview skills, job placement, and end the program outfitting moms with a complimentary suit. We believe that everyone benefits from hard work and financial independence, especially the generations to follow! Learn more about our Financial Literacy Training here.
Emerge provides social services and mental health support to our single mothers and their children. Much can be gained with an understanding of mental health, emotions, trauma, grief, and optimal functioning. Our staff works with each mother based on her needs to ensure a bright future for her and her family. We also offer funds and referrals for housing, food, emergency services, and community services.
The Emerge MicroLoan Grant is an annual business mentorship program for mothers with an entrepreneurial spirit. We partner with the applicants through a business proposal process to present in the Spring to our EMA Professional Panel. A winner is then selected bringing the dreams of business ownership to a reality. Operating truly as a grant, the only “pay-back” we expect from our winner is to one day pay it forward by being a business mentor to the next MicroLoan Grant recipient.
