Bedstuy Keeps Showing Up
On April 1st, Emerge Career hosted a study hall at 1958 Fulton Street in Bedstuy, Brooklyn, running from 1 to 3pm. This was the latest in a series of Brooklyn events that had been building momentum all quarter, and the results showed: 67% of participants at this session booked their permit on the spot!
Two-Thirds of the Room Booked Permit Appointments
That means that two out of every three people had a date locked in for their next big step in the program. They were in the session to keep building, help others who were still prepping, and connect with coaches about next steps — scheduling behind-the-wheel training, understanding DOT physical requirements, and getting matched with partner driving schools across the city.
For the third of the room still preparing, the session was pure CLP prep: practice tests, concept review, and one-on-one coaching.
Brooklyn's Strongest Quarter
Brooklyn hosted six Emerge events in Q1 2026 — spanning Brooklyn Heights, the Central Library, Bedstuy (multiple sessions with Neighbors in Action), and Brownsville. The borough has one of the highest concentrations of justice-impacted individuals in the city, and the turnout at every session confirmed the demand.
Pizza was served.
