Technical Education Programming
Emergent Works trains individuals who were formerly-incarcerated and those impacted by the criminal legal system through technical programming that provides free access to education, resources, a safe community, and employment opportunities. Through our programs, we hope to help end the revolving door of mass incarceration by closing the wealth gap and digital divide.
