    • Mission

    Emma’s Torch is a non-profit social enterprise. Our mission is to train refugees, asylees, and survivors of human trafficking in the culinary arts and to empower them to build meaningful careers in the culinary industry. Our students participate in a full-time, paid, culinary training program in preparation for job placement. Throughout our program, they have the opportunity to learn in both a classroom and apprentice setting, thanks to our restaurant, cafe, and catering social enterprises. Emma’s Torch honors Emma Lazarus, a staunch advocate for refugee rights whose poem, “The New Colossus”, adorns the Statue of Liberty.

    About Us

    We are a non-profit social enterprise. We provide refugees with in-depth culinary training as well as employability, equity, and empowerment training.
