WHO WE ARE: eMerging Entrepreneurs, Inc. is a North Carolina-based 501c(3) non-profit organization that enacts socio-economic strategies designed to advance the small business, educational, and economic development interests of disadvantaged communities; specifically our nation’s military families, urban youth, and minority populations. The organization adopts a grassroots approach to assisting individuals of under-served communities and serves as an access point for the acceleration of entrepreneurial, workforce, and career prosperity; partnering with state & federal agencies, universities, local chambers of commerce, and military installations to extend resource solutions to at-risk and economically impaired communities. OUR MISSION: The mission of our organization is to serve the economic needs of our nation’s most vulnerable; developing strategies and enacting programs that assist in improving the systemic conditions experienced in communities that have been disproportionately impacted due to a lack of social access and economic opportunity. This is achieved through: » Empowering at-risk communities through social, economic, entrepreneurial, and professional development platforms; » Economic development strategies designed to strengthen our social capacity by creating pathways for non-profits, corporations, & private institutions to align around a common, social mission; » Outreach and community organizing initiatives intended to broaden coalitions of support to advance awareness, outreach, & meaningful grassroots collaboration; and » Research-based seminars and leadership gatherings designed to improve best-practices. OUR VISION: Our long-term vision is to develop, implement, and advance servicing projects that provide access to economic opportunity (small business, financing, employment, and education support) within communities that have been disproportionately impacted from a socio-economical perspective. These target communities include (but are not limited to) our nation’s active-duty service-members & veterans, military spouses, urban youth, and under-served minority communities.
