Description
Emma's Torch is a non-profit social enterprise based in New York City that is dedicated to empowering refugees through culinary education. They understand that for refugees, finding a new job is one of the hardest parts of the transition. Emma's Torch provides in-depth culinary and employability training to refugees, asylees, and survivors of human trafficking, helping them gain the skills and confidence needed to succeed in the job market.
Their program combines classroom learning with hands-on apprenticeships at their cafes and catering businesses. By celebrating the students' cultural heritage and cuisine, Emma's Torch sets them up for successful employment in the culinary industry. Beyond job training, Emma's Torch also fosters a supportive community where students can build relationships and thrive.
In addition to their training program, Emma's Torch partners with renowned chefs, industry leaders, and restaurant groups to help their graduates secure jobs. They also have multiple locations, including a flagship cafe in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, and a cafe at the Brooklyn Public Library. They have recently expanded to Washington, DC, and even became a food vendor at Citi Field.
With their commitment to empowering refugees and enhancing communities, Emma's Torch truly embodies the spirit of welcome and inclusivity symbolized by their namesake, Emma Lazarus
