Non-Profit, Certification & Training Program
Part of Emma's Torch
We are a non-profit social enterprise. We provide refugees with in-depth culinary training as well as employability, equity, and empowerment training. Throughout our program, students learn in both a classroom and apprentice setting, thanks to our cafes and catering businesses. We set students up for successful employment in an industry in which their cultural heritage and cuisine can be celebrated. What’s more, we provide a community in which they can build supportive relationships.
The new Emma’s Torch location in Inwood will replicate the same culinary training curriculum as the one used in Emma’s Torch’s three other locations – two in Brooklyn and one in Washington, DC. The focus of this program site will be the organization’s catering and consumer packaged goods operations.
The Eliza, co-developed by The Children’s Village, CLOTH, Ranger Properties, and the Housing Workshop, will be a hub of public growth. The Eliza includes the new Inwood Public Library and 174 units of beautiful affordable housing with views of the Hudson River, as well as a pre-K program, a STEM robotics center, and a performance space, in addition to the teaching kitchen. The new location will fit right in by providing a space for culinary education and community engagement.
