Get Involved! | About the Coalition | Resources e:merge is a coalition of community leaders from education, government, philanthropy, business and the nonprofit sector working together to ensure that all youth enter adulthood:
The coalition’s aim is to improve political and public will, align policies and enhance the systems and structures that support the healthy development of young people. The coalition seeks to build partnerships to advocate for policy changes that support youth success. e:merge Coalition Convening September 22, 2009 We had a great turnout for our 2nd annual Coalition Convening with over 300 people in attendance and special guest Colin Powell, along with local Mayors Kevin Johnson, James Shelby, Pat Hume and Christopher Cabaldon, councilmembers and school district representatives. At the event, we presented awards to 11 organizations that were nominated by the coalition for doing exemplary service to our youth and families. The event was also highlighted by our two students' presentations on what e:merge meant to them. A special thank you goes to the National Guard for giving all in attendance the new Resource Guide for Parents and Guardians, which can be viewed at e:merge Resources.
