About Us
Here at Ember Rising , we recognize a critical gap in practical life skills education between generations. Many young people today lack essential skills such as budgeting, credit building, tax preparation, and workplace professionalism—knowledge that was once imparted more consistently in schools and homes. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated this issue, leaving many youth to navigate their formative years in disadvantaged learning environments. As a result, we see a troubling decline in basic social skills, proper communication, etiquette, and literacy levels among multi-generational children.
Our foundation is dedicated to addressing this disconnect. We aim to empower young individuals who are either sheltered from adult responsibilities or, conversely, lack the support systems necessary to learn these vital skills. Many young adults in their twenties find themselves living at home or facing homelessness due to an inability to maintain self-sufficiency.
Through our programs, we provide the knowledge and resources necessary for youth to build their independence, equipping them with the tools to thrive in today's world. Together, we strive to bridge this gap and foster a generation that is confident, capable, and prepared for the challenges of adulthood.
