Empowering Futures

Empowering Futures

At Kukuna, we believe that businesses have the power and responsibility to create positive change in the world. One of the key ways we do this is through our commitment to supporting causes that resonate with our values of resilience, empowerment, and hope. That’s why we’re proud to partner with The Amber Foundation, a charity making a real difference in the lives of young people facing adversity.

Why We Support The Amber Foundation

Every young person deserves the chance to thrive, but for many, life’s challenges—such as homelessness, unemployment, and mental health issues—stand in the way. The Amber Foundation works tirelessly to provide vulnerable 16-30 year-olds with the tools, resources, and support they need to rebuild their lives.

We at Kukuna admire The Amber Foundation’s approach of not just addressing the symptoms of hardship but empowering young people to regain control of their future through tailored, person-centered support. Their mission aligns perfectly with our ethos of adventure, courage, and personal growth. We believe in the power of giving people a second chance, and The Amber Foundation does exactly that.

What The Amber Foundation Does

Since 1995, The Amber Foundation has been helping young people facing difficult life circumstances—whether they’re struggling with homelessness, addiction, or simply feeling lost. They offer temporary housing, employment training, and emotional support to help young individuals transition from challenging situations to independence and self-sufficiency.

Through their residential centers, Amber provides a safe, supportive community where young people can rebuild their confidence and skills. The team works closely with each resident, offering them tailored support in areas like job training, education, and health and wellbeing.

In short, Amber is a lifeline for young people who need it most. Their focus is not just on getting people off the streets but ensuring they have the skills and self-belief to stay off them and build positive futures.
