Emerge (www.emergeglobal.org) grew out of Ma-Sevana, the only facility in Sri Lanka for young women, ages 10-18, who are survivors of rape or incest. Beginning as a jewelry workshop, Emerge flourished into a powerful tool for personal transformation. Through the act of crafting jewelry, these young women found a means of rejuvenation. Emerge was born as a way to help them sustain their work, connecting them to supplies and training, a global market, and a global community of support.Emerge strives to facilitate avenues for economic empowerment that promote joy, responsibility, self-worth, and confidence to teenage mothers in Sri Lanka so that these young women can feel free and alive in body and spirit.

Hello my name is Samantha Ruiz-Gross.
I started Another Knowledge Youth Outreach.
Our main focus is stopping the cycle of domestic violence by empowering today’s youth with the knowledge necessary to lead a positive life. We also work with youth on many different levels as far as Anger management, Thinking for a prosperous future, and assist in a variety of other outreach services.
We work actively in the community by assisting with a number of conferences with in the twin cities to further the advancement of today’s inner-city youth.
Another Knowledge Youth Outreach consists of Samantha Ruiz-Gross and Courtney Gross. Between the two of them they have a wide array of experience from everywhere from Criminal Justice to Human services.
We love to collaborate with other organizations that have a focus on Youth Development from anywhere from consulting to speaking.

We believe in putting the puzzle together Piece by Piece,
