Empowerment Starts Here

Community Partners
The EmBe vision encompasses collaboration and partnerships as a vehicle to enhance the programs and services our organization provides to the Sioux Falls community. As a supporter of EmBe programs and services, these relationships help to ensure:
- Parents can choose a career outside the home because their children have safe, quality childcare in their absence.
- School Age Care Programs such as “no school” days allow parents to maintain a full work day if desired.
- Girls gain leadership skills that carry with them into adulthood.
- Skill-enhancing and fun programs are available to kids throughout the year.
