We’ve expanded our roots this year — but our vision goes further.
Juvenile trafficking victims need services in Oklahoma. Help us step into the gap and give hope and life.
When we first announced our Roots of Renewal Campaign at the beginning of the year, we packed a lot of purpose into it. Thanks to the generosity of our partners, we’ve made great strides — a new transitional living program, 30 more beds in our crisis shelter, and a long-term home for our administrative and non-residential staff.
We’ve accomplished the first step, and now is the time to move further.
Juvenile victims of trafficking simply aren’t receiving service here in Oklahoma. They require a unique approach to recovery that most human trafficking organizations aren’t prepared or funded enough to handle. We have a vision to change that.
Help us begin providing long-term, life-giving care to young people desperately in need of hope.
Our first youth trafficking home will serve eight individuals and provide programming for restoration and recovery. With full-time staff trained specifically to care for this demographic, this project represents a major step forward for Tulsa in caring for victims of trafficking.
After our first youth trafficking home is complete, we have a long-term vision for this program to grow. Additional homes, gardens, recreation space, and expressive therapy opportunities — we’re caring for survivors in mind, body, and soul.

A Banner Year
Due to the generosity of foundations, partners, and individuals, our Roots of Renewal Campaign has already achieved a lot. Here’s what we’ve done:
Our new transitional living facility, the Ridge, offers a next-step for survivors to build life skills and thrive. This program opened in June of 2025.
We’ve moved our administrative staff out of our shelter to make more space for guests — 20-30 new beds by the time renovations are complete.
With more space, our non-residential services program has experienced huge growth — 45% more clients in 2025.
