At Cece’s Hope Center we know that you want to give hope to those sexually exploited and trafficked. You care about justice and protection, yet because the sheer scale of this issue it often leads would-be supporters to feeling overwhelmed and helpless.

CeCe’s Hope Center improves the lives and future of 18–30 year-old females who are at risk or are survivors of human trafficking and sexual exploitation by bridging the gap in available services and support. We provide housing, emotional and mental services, life skills, and a structured plan for 12 months in a safe, caring, and nurturing home environment. Why 12-months? Our many years of research shows that 12-months of transition through a structured program provides the perfect foundation for the transition from the past to a future filled with hope and independence.
The first phase focuses on stabilization – Helping individuals adjust to their new safe environment and set the stage for the next 12 months. A resident’s success largely hinges on their ability to effectively complete their personalized Independent Plan and fully use the extensive support provided by Cece’s Hope Center. This support is aimed at helping residents reach their key objectives of Safety, Independence, and successful reintegration into the community.
This phase emphasizes establishing the routines essential for achieving successful independence. The focus is on helping these young women build daily consistency, understand the importance of planning, explore career and educational opportunities, and develop the skills needed for independence and effective reintegration into society.
This phase aims to boost their self-confidence and establish a personal support network. Each woman is paired with a mentor who provides support and helps women develop personally.
As the women continue to make steady progress, they will enter the final phase, their independence. In this phase, they will assess their knowledge, skills, resources, and transitional plan aimed at guiding a new sustainable living situation as they move closer to graduation.
