We Support The Underserved Individual To Reach Their Full Potential!
We support shelter homes, provide supplemental programs and help the less fortunate. Our goal is to help the underserved populations become productive members of the community.
Our Programs
Community Technology Program
The Community Technology Program prepares participants in the digital areas needed to function and grow in the workplace and community. CTP will bridge the digital divide among seniors and returning citizens as they reenter society by introducing how to utilize various technologies including but not limited to: software programs, hardware, applications and websites and other new technologies that are useful to integrate into everyday life, the workforce, and learning space. To accomplish this we will orient participants in resources and tasks centered around technology like using a debit card, utilizing online resources, and state systems like the Secretary of State and MDHHS. We believe that equipping all citizens with technology equity will empower the community allowing seniors and ex-offenders to independently seek viable opportunities and decrease chances that they will return to the prison system.

Professional Development
The Professional Development Program prepares participants in the areas needed to function and grow in the workplace and community. PDP will develop or enhance skills in the following areas: crafting and updating a resume, interview preparation, building a professional presence, fostering an effective network, communications skills across hierarchies and identifying transferable skills.
For a number of years EMF has provided resource services to those seeking employment and looking to empower themselves to be lucrative members of the community. The EMF Facebook Employment page ‘Employ Detroit’ has over 800 followers and will continue to grow. We have posted employment opportunities for those with GED’s, college graduates, entry level and experienced workers. We will continue to assist with the career search, no matter what level but we are ready to take this service to the next level.
Coming Soon: Emergency
Meal Management Program
Empower My Future is proposing to bring healthy, shelf-stable (up to 25 years – longer than dehydrated or frozen meals) meals to Detroit residents that need it most. This pilot program will serve older adults, individuals with disabilities, and school aged-children.
Goals
The goal of this project is to address food insecurity and improve access to healthy food options in underserved communities during a crisis. This project will help to reduce social and economic barriers that prevent vulnerable community members from accessing healthy food during a natural or man-made crisis. Overall, the project will address the fundamental issue of food insecurity and promote health and well-being for members of the Detroit community.
Objectives/Deliverables
EMF will partner with local organizations (host sites) to positively impact 200 or more individuals to be supplied with quality, healthy meals during times when food distribution would otherwise be disrupted.
