THE EMERGE CALIFORNIA CHILD CARE INITIATIVE
Established on Mother’s Day 2019, the Child Care Initiative is an Emerge California
program that offers child care grants to any current Emerge California
program member during the time of their candidate training.
The goal of the initiative is to ensure that women leaders across the state have
the needed resources to participate in the
Emerge California signature candidate training program.
THE EMERGE CALIFORNIA SCHOLARSHIP FUND
the state have access to our effective candidate training program is our Scholarship Fund.
All program members are offered scholarships
of up to $750 (50% of the $1,500 tuition).
These scholarships can be used for the
tuition itself or other costs that program members incur, such as child care and transportation costs.
We believe no woman accepted
into the program should be prevented
from participating due to lack of resources.
