Join us for the Annual EMERGE Special Friends’ Market on February 12 from 9:00 AM–3:00 PM at The Monarch School & Institute. This event is open to the public and showcases the work of adult learners with neurological differences who are meaningfully employed through Monarch’s EMERGE Enterprises.

Our adult learners are employed above minimum wage in supportive, skill-building roles that promote independence, confidence, and professional growth. Events like the Special Friends’ Market directly support their work and help sustain the employment opportunities that make EMERGE strong.

Shoppers will find a wide selection of learner-created items, including EMERGE favorites as well as Valentine’s-themed gifts perfect for celebrating the special people in your life.

By shopping the market, you are supporting meaningful, supported employment and investing in opportunities that empower adults with neurological differences to thrive.
