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.

Education and earning a degree from Adelphi offered a lifeline to Serena Martin ’05. As executive director for New Hour, she now leads efforts to support incarcerated women and promote policy reform in New York state.
