Watch ZOE Home For Youth Tour
Healing begins here
When a rescued child is taken to ZOE, they begin their restoration journey. Children are placed in a safe home where they receive medical care, counseling, education, vocational training, and unconditional love.
Our Restoration Program
The goal of ZOE’s Restoration Program is to help to restore the lives of human trafficking survivors and help them heal from their past. ZOE’s holistic restoration programs support the development of children in the areas of their mind, their body, and their spirit by providing:
- Secure facilities
- Supportive and loving caregivers
- Holistic restoration
- Case management
- Christian values
- Trauma informed therapeutic activities
- High quality academics
- Vocational and life skills training
- Transitional program for independent living
Vocational Skills Training
The ZOE Vocational Skills Programs in Thailand provide opportunities for youth to discover their passions, explore career paths, and provide skills in high-demand fields.
The programs of instruction we currently offer are:
- Construction (metalwork, woodworking, electrical circuitry, and masonry),
- Automotive Mechanics (including small and diesel engines),
- Office Administration (basic computer skills, accounting/bookkeeping, and graphic/media arts), and
- Hospitality (cooking and baking, barista training, hotel management, and business principles).
These four areas alone encompass over 50% of the occupations (i.e. by percentage of workforce by industry sector in Thailand in 2016) available to the students.
Life Skills Training
Transitioning to adulthood and preparing to leave ZOE’s care can bring mixed feelings of excitement and anxiety for youth who have found stability and safety in our home. This is why ZOE begins supporting youth in their transition years before their 18th birthday, informally through a model of parenting and mentoring by our staff and formally through Life Skills training in banking, budgeting, job interviewing, cooking, navigating transportation, and more. Each of the classes are designed to equip our teens for independent living as they transition to work or further studies.
