Providing Men’s & Women’s Recovery Efforts in Xenia, Ohio
Emerge empowers people seeking recovery and former foster youth to rebuild their lives through transformational and vocational pathways. We envision futures filled with rekindled hope, restored lives, and lasting change in our communities and beyond!
Located in the former Greene County Career Center near Xenia, Beavercreek, Fairborn, and Yellow Springs, Emerge’s spacious campus will offer recovery housing addiction recovery programs and transformational recovery housing for men and women while also providing onsite support for young men who have emancipated out of foster care and are transitioning into the world.
OUR HISTORY
The History of Emerge
Founded in June, 2021 by three entrepreneurs with successful businesses in the skilled trades, Emerge Recovery & Trade Initiative was created to address two major societal issues: the workforce shortage in the skilled trades and the increasing needs for emancipated youth and those battling addictions to lead healthy and productive lives.
When the former Greene County Career Center was scheduled for auction in March 2021, Chris Adams, Narrow Path Plumbing, Kip Morris, Five Star Heating & Cooling, and Doug Van Dyke, Van Martin Roofing, took the bold initiative to purchase the property located at 2960 W. Enon Road in Xenia, Ohio. This venue will serve as a workforce catalyst to expand their second chance employer model and home for comprehensive services for men and women in recovery and youth as they age out of the foster care system.
OUR MISSION
We empower people seeking recovery and aging out of foster care to rebuild their lives through transformational and vocational pathways.
OUR VISION
A future filled with rekindled hope, restored lives, and lasting change in our communities and beyond.
