When the world comes to Houston, vulnerable women and girls face increased danger. We’re mobilizing now. Join us.
Houston is already one of the largest hubs for human trafficking in the nation. During the World Cup, that risk intensifies. More visitors mean more demand for commercial sex; and traffickers will work to meet it. But we refuse to let our city become a marketplace for exploitation.
Elijah Rising is mobilizing now. We’re expanding our outreach teams, opening an emergency safe home, and preparing to meet survivors the moment they’re ready. But we can’t do it alone.
We need volunteers ready to serve before, during, and after the World Cup. Whether you have a few hours or a few weeks, there’s a place for you:
Outreach Support — Join our teams as we go into the commercial sex industry with resources and hope.
Safe Home Hospitality — Help provide meals, supplies, and care for women entering our emergency assessment center.
Prayer Teams — Cover our staff, survivors, and outreach efforts in prayer during this critical season.
Event & Logistics Support — Assist with training events, supply coordination, and administrative needs.
Every volunteer completes training to understand the realities of trafficking, trauma-informed care, and their specific role.
Training dates for World Cup preparation will be announced soon.
