Boise In-Person Advantage: Experience Emerge Up Close

Emerge offers a unique model that helps integrate young adults into the Boise area by assisting them in creating their own peer groups and personalized success plans. Directed by Kylie Peters, Emerge is a non-traditional program where students work closely with mentors to develop highly individualized plans aimed at fostering independence and success in college and beyond.

Boise is an ideal setting for emerging young adults, boasting a vibrant arts and music community, a technology hub with major corporations like Micron and multiple startups, and a wide range of outdoor activities. Boise State University and the surrounding community offer a health-conscious, active environment with numerous clubs and activities to engage students deeply in college life

Emerge participants benefit from the program’s strong ties with Boise State University and the local community college, which support academic success through flexible start dates, a variety of course options, and access to strong academic tutoring options both on and off campus. Emerge’s approach includes coordinating with college disability offices to ensure necessary accommodations for students with neurodivergence.

Emerge’s core philosophy of 'Supervision, Structure, Support = Sustainability' guides its approach. Students begin with a higher level of supervision with frequent 'touch points' to ensure they are integrating well. As students gain independence, the focus shifts to structured support through classes, extracurricular activities, and internships.

Boise’s active lifestyle is perfect for students at Emerge, offering opportunities for biking, hiking, snowboarding, and participation in technology and arts communities. Emerge encourages involvement in local internships, volunteer activities, and community projects to foster both personal and professional growth.
