Meet Our Mission Moment Speaker!

Stefan Ciuk: Survivor. Former Ember Center client. Board President. Mission Moment Speaker.

Stefan's connection to Ember Center is deeply personal. In 2019, Stefan first came to Ember Center as a client, experiencing firsthand the safety, support, and compassionate, judgment-free care the organization provides to survivors and their families.

That experience stayed with him. In 2022, Stefan joined Ember Center’s Board of Directors, driven by a desire to help ensure that others can find the same hope and support when they need it most. Today, he serves as Board President.

When asked what inspires him most about Ember Center’s mission, Stefan describes what he calls “the multiplier effect of grace.” He believes that even a small intervention can change the trajectory of a family and create a lasting “harvest of hope.”

This November, Stefan will share more of his story as the Mission Moment Speaker at the 2026 Ember Center Gala. We invite you to join us for an evening of connection, courage, and hope as we come together to celebrate survivors and support Ember Center’s mission.
