Our trauma-informed, on-level GED Program helps trafficking survivors resume their education at their own pace.
After graduating from Refuge City, Overcomers go on to attend universities, enroll in vocational schools, and achieve higher-paying jobs.
These services are 100% funded by donors and grants.
Our GED students learn on scholarship: all of our services are completely free to them.
