Stopping human trafficking.
Ending childhood hunger.
Educating tomorrow's leaders.
In 2008 we found this 13 year old being trafficked on the streets of Phoenix
In 2008, while doing inner-city outreaches to reach at-risk youth, our Executive Director Brian Steele and his wife Skye Steele found this 13-year-old being trafficked on 51st Avenue in Phoenix.
It changed their lives forever.
After getting her the emergency medical help she needed, they scrambled to prepare a room for her at the Phoenix Dream Center and welcomed her in.Â
Brian and Skye now live every day on a mission to Stop Human Trafficking.Â
This girl they helped in 2008 has now graduated college, is married and they are STILL in contact with her.
This was the start of the human trafficking recovery program at the Phoenix Dream Center.Â
Since opening in September of 2008, the human trafficking recovery program at the Phoenix Dream Center has served over 900 girls and young women, mostly between the ages of 13 and 26 years old.Â
This is a picture that a volunteer took just after we gave this girl a rose and told her they had somewhere for her to go to be safe and to get help.
STORIES OF LIVES BEING CHANGED
It’s horrifying to think, but Kelle was trafficked by her mother when she was only 6 years old.​
The abuse from my childhood affected me for a long time. I made terrible choices and ended up with a guy who began to traffick me, just like my mother. The Dream Center helped me to see a new future for myself and my baby. I'm so thankful for all that they've done to help me be a good mom and have a good life.

In response to a large number of shelters and safe house programs that have stopped taking in victims of human trafficking due to COVID-19, the Phoenix Dream Center has decided to safely continue to serve trafficked individuals, without discrimination to their current health condition, so long as our advising medical professionals deem it is safe for our campus to provide those services.
For example, we believe that a young girl who is trapped in the violent, life threatening abuse of human trafficking who happens to have COVID-19 still deserves to be recovered and helped – and we are going to help her. We will provide her with safe housing including isolated services so that any illness she has does not affect other girls who are also healing. The medical professionals we work with at the Phoenix Dream Center have outlined a plan for us to be able to safely serve individuals with COVID-19 and we have decided to follow that plan.
We are a heavily volunteer driven organization and we need your help!

STOPPING HUMAN TRAFFICKING
In Arizona, 1 in 3 at-risk and homeless youth have been trafficked. And the average age that a child is first trafficked in Arizona is just 14-years-old (8th and 9th graders).Â
The stories of the girls in the human trafficking program are some of the most moving stories we’ve ever heard. Coming out of horrendous circumstances with completely broken lives, we are seeing young women's lives turned around in an almost miraculous fashion through the leading-edge programs.
M.C Donnelly, #1 NYT Bestselling Authors, Chicken Soup for the Soul
No one should be a victim of human trafficking.
For 12 years we’ve been committed to helping girls and young women heal from human trafficking. We’re proud to offer trauma informed housing, behavioral health, medical health, education and career services for survivors from all over the world.
As of 2020 we’ve successfully served over 900 young women, mostly between the ages of 14 and 26 years old. With 48 beds for young women and 12 beds for young men, this program is one of the largest of its kind in the nation.
You’re reading this page for a reason! Maybe you saw a human trafficking story and want to help out at a place that is truly making a difference.
Or, maybe you’re looking for more information – you’re in the right place.
Volunteers drive all that we do and individual donors make it all possible!

Brian D. Steele Executive Director

EDUCATING TOMORROW'S LEADERS
The authority by which the Christian leader leads is not power but love, not force but example, not coercion but reasoned persuasion.
It's not just our job to minister to other peoples' needs. We also have to minister to their potential.
Tommy Barnett Dream Center Founder
Every young person deserves the chance to become a world-changer.
In 2020 the newest program at the Phoenix Dream Center is the Christian Leadership School which serves to train and equip young people to do the work of the ministry.
The Leadership School at the Phoenix Dream Center helps young adults discover their potential and purpose while building a solid foundation of Godly character and servant leadership while also earning college credit.
The Leadership School’s housing rates start at just $300 per month and students receive deep discounts for college credits through partner universities.
Housing arrangements include dorm housing, food, transportation and access to tons of other support services on the Phoenix Dream Center Campus.
