When you think of KFC, you probably picture the Colonel, that finger-lickin’ chicken, and a brand recognised across the globe. But behind those iconic red-and-white buckets is a workforce of thousands—diverse, hardworking people from every walk of life, serving their communities in restaurants all around the world.

At the heart of it all is the KFC Foundation, a powerful force for good, helping team members build brighter futures through education and support.

In this episode, we sit down with Emma Horn, Executive Director of the KFC Foundation. Emma first connected with our host through a shared partnership with the GED Testing Service and quickly discovered a shared vision: empowering people through education, reskilling, and unlocking potential.

Under Emma’s leadership, the KFC Foundation is delivering life-changing programs for restaurant employees and their families—everything from scholarships and emergency aid to personal development and career advancement.
