The friends who keep our mission moving.

Friends of Emerge strengthen The Emerge Center and The Emerge School, playing a vital role in helping children with autism and individuals with communication challenges achieve independence. When you join our giving circle, you become part of a caring community of “friends” who are truly dedicated to making a meaningful difference.

Your monthly support, combined with contributions from other Friends of Emerge, provides us with the stability we need to serve hundreds of families in our community every day, ensuring they receive the care and support they deserve. 

The need is growing. 

• 1 in 31 children are diagnosed with autism
• 1 in 6 children exhibit a developmental disability
• Each week, we serve more than 250 children
• Families from 43 parishes and counties served at The Emerge Center

Your impact is real. This past year alone, Emerge provided the following services:

• 357 autism evaluations, a 58% increase in evaluations from 2024
• 2,124 clients served through Emerge’s Audiology Clinic
• 1,690 children served at The Emerge Center

Your support is more than generosity. It’s partnership. It’s friendship with purpose.
