Emma’s Torch is a non-profit social enterprise that provides refugees with in-depth culinary training as well as employability, equity, and empowerment training. Students learn in both a classroom and a cafe setting. We set students up for successful employment in an industry in which their cultural heritage and cuisine can be celebrated. What’s more, we provide a community in which they can build supportive relationships
