Refuge of Light is a nonprofit organization that operates a safe home dedicated to the provision of physical, mental and spiritual healing to female youth, 18-21 years, victimized by sexual exploitation within the United States.

The Mission of Refuge of Light is to provide a safe haven, redemptive rescue and restoration for sexually exploited female youth through advocacy, awareness and holistic care.

Our Programs

We have three main programs at Refuge of Light • Our specialized residential program, the Refuge Safe Home, for female youth 18-21 years of age who have been sexually exploited • Our non-residential mentoring programs, ‘Brave Girl’ & ‘Brave Heart’, for young girls and boys who are at a high risk for sex trafficking in East Texas • Our ‘Traffick Signals’ Training class for educating the community, because prevention is the key to success in winning this battle for our children

About Us

Our dream to help these girls began in 2008. The vision of Refuge of Light is to transform the broken life into the brilliant life through individualized plans of restoration. To equip these young girls with confidence and the skills to realize and formulate their own vision for a new, healthy and meaningful life. Our goal is to pour into their lives while advocating for their well being as well as introducing them to healthy relationships and rich life experiences.
