Awakening Hope in At-Risk Youth
At Michael’s Refuge, our mission is to awaken hope in at-risk youth who have faced trauma by mentoring and empowering them to rise up and pursue their dreams.
Trauma will have a tremendous effect on our youth and society if ignored.

If more prevention, trauma-healing, and resiliency training aren’t provided, our at-risk youth are likely to suffer from chronic physical and mental health struggles. Their lives will be greatly affected and health care costs will soar. -Dr. Bethell, National Maternal and Child Health Data Resource Center
Research supports the need for reaching at-risk youth through mentoring during key windows of time when parents are at work.
