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
Since 2008 our human trafficking program has been committed to providing trauma informed housing, behavioral health, medical health, education and career services to young women from all over the nation.
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.9
