Item Description

Our Food
Our restaurants serve seasonal New American cuisine prepared by our newly American students! Across our Brooklyn and Washington, DC locations you’ll find a focus on fresh, locally sourced ingredients cooked into dishes inspired by our students’ countries of origin.

The Problem
For refugees coming to America, one of the hardest parts of the transition can be finding a new job. A job is important for more than just a paycheck. It is a chance to meet new people, practice language skills, and find a sense of fulfillment and self-worth after what can be a jarring and disorienting move.

Enter 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, they learn in both a classroom and apprentice setting, thanks to our cafes and catering businesses. We set them 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.

 

$50 Gift Certificate to be used at our cafe in Carroll Gardens
