How To Get Involved
Use your Time, Voice, and Gifts to Protect Children and Bring Hope to Survivors.
There’s a place for everyone in the fight against sexual abuse—and your role matters more than you know.
Whether you’re using your professional skills to support our mission, creating space for honest conversations in your community, sharing your personal story of healing, or simply saying “yes” to learning how to protect children—you are helping to rewrite the future. Every action, no matter how small it may seem, becomes part of a larger movement of prevention, protection, and hope.
Right now, we are especially looking for facilitators to lead our healing groups. If that’s something you’re interested in, the first step is to complete our Shelter Healing Study, followed by our Cultivate Facilitator Training. Since we are a survivor-led organization, all volunteers serving on the healing side of our work are also survivors. Your story, your healing, and your willingness to walk with others could be the very thing that helps someone else begin again.
HOW TO JOIN THE MOVEMENT OF SURVIVORS HELPING SURVIVORS
-
Start the Shelter Healing Study
This 12-week study is designed to walk you through your own healing journey first—because we believe true leadership in this work begins with personal transformation. Through Scripture, guided reflection, honest conversation, and safe community, you’ll process the wounds of the past in a Christ-centered environment that honors both your story and your pace.
Whether this is your first step toward healing or part of a continued journey, Shelter creates space for you to confront shame, rebuild trust, and reclaim your voice. It’s more than a study—it’s a sacred invitation to healing. And for those who feel called to help others heal, this is where the journey begins.
Before you can lead, you must first be led into healing. Shelter lays the foundation for that.

Learn About the Cultivate Facilitator Training
Once you’ve completed the Shelter Healing Study, you’ll be invited into Cultivate—a specialized facilitator training designed to help you lead others through healing with humility, strength, and Spirit-led compassion. Over the course of this training, you’ll be equipped with trauma-informed practices, biblical leadership principles, and the practical tools needed to create safe, sacred spaces for survivors to heal.
You’ll learn the proven methods we’ve developed over the past 15+ years to create safe, Christ-centered spaces for survivors to heal.
Please note: Cultivate is only for those who have completed the Shelter Study and who desire to serve under the covering of Trees of Hope, aligned with our mission, values, and survivor-led model
OTHER WAYS TO GET INVOLVED
-
Host a Workshop
Host a life-changing prevention at your church, school, or organization. Whether you’re looking to educate your community on how to protect children or offer a path to healing for those impacted by sexual abuse, we’ll equip you with everything you need. Our Christ-centered workshops are engaging, practical, and designed to create a lasting impact—helping you foster a culture of safety, awareness, and restoration.
-
Become an Advocate
Use your voice to make an impact. By sharing our content on social media, inviting friends to attend a class, or starting a personal fundraiser, you help break the silence surrounding sexual abuse. Every post, conversation, and dollar raised brings more awareness, more healing, and more protection for those who need it most. You don’t have to lead a group to lead change—your influence matters!
-
Pray With Us
We believe prayer is powerful and foundational to everything we do. By covering survivors, families, and the ministry of Trees of Hope in intentional, Spirit-led prayer, you become part of the healing work God is doing. Whether you’re praying daily on your own, with a group, or during one of our events, your intercession creates space for God’s protection, restoration, and light to break into dark and hurting places.
OUR CALL TO ACTION
“When you get involved, you become part of the change—helping protect children, restore survivors, and bring hope where silence once lived.”
