History

Emerge Community Development (or EMERGE) was established as a 501 c3 nonprofit in 1995 upon developing an innovative temporary to permanent staffing enterprise (called Emerge Staffing) to create jobs for hard to employ adults. Since 1995, the agency has developed a growing portfolio of workforce, housing, social enterprise and community development programs and activities. Headquartered in North Minneapolis, EMERGE has evolved into a unique non-profit, tackling a host of life challenges through a “triple play” approach that includes human services support, social enterprises and community development projects.
