We’re the leading provider of reentry services for women across Long Island.

With your help we can make a difference.
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
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.
In this special episode, we sit down with Erin George, National Director of Policy at The Bail Project, for a powerful conversation straight from the annual SOMOS conference.
Erin breaks down how bail creates a two-tiered system — one for people with money and one for everyone else — and shares how The Bail Project is working to dismantle this injustice every day. Their model is simple but transformative: they pay bail for people who can’t afford it, for free, while pushing for policies that take money out of the justice process entirely.
Together, we explore what true “innocent until proven otherwise” should look like in practice, the real impact of pretrial freedom on individuals and families, and the bold vision for a fairer, more equitable system.
