Our Programs

Community Technology Program
Professional Development
The Professional Development Program prepares participants in the areas needed to function and grow in the workplace and community. PDP will develop or enhance skills in the following areas: crafting and updating a resume, interview preparation, building a professional presence, fostering an effective network, communications skills across hierarchies and identifying transferable skills.
For a number of years EMF has provided resource services to those seeking employment and looking to empower themselves to be lucrative members of the community. The EMF Facebook Employment page ‘Employ Detroit’ has over 800 followers and will continue to grow. We have posted employment opportunities for those with GED’s, college graduates, entry level and experienced workers. We will continue to assist with the career search, no matter what level but we are ready to take this service to the next level.

Seeking Support for: Emergency Meal Management Program
Empower My Future is proposing to bring healthy, shelf-stable (up to 25 years – longer than dehydrated or frozen meals) meals to Detroit residents that need it most. This pilot program will serve older adults, individuals with disabilities, and school aged-children.
Goals
The goal of this project is to address food insecurity and improve access to healthy food options in underserved communities during a crisis. This project will help to reduce social and economic barriers that prevent vulnerable community members from accessing healthy food during a natural or man-made crisis. Overall, the project will address the fundamental issue of food insecurity and promote health and well-being for members of the Detroit community.
Objectives/Deliverables
EMF will partner with local organizations (host sites) to positively impact 200 or more individuals to be supplied with quality, healthy meals during times when food distribution would otherwise be disrupted.

A new future for those in need!
