Our Mission

Roads to Hope is a non-profit humanitarian organization devoted to helping those traumatized around the world by man made (war, terrorism, etc) and natural disasters (earthquakes, tsunamis, etc.). We are committed to helping the whole person, addressing the spiritual, emotional and physical aftereffects of the traumas.  To help facilitate this, Roads to Hope will encourage the scientific study of trauma, the education of the effects of trauma and the treatment of those traumatized. We welcome the involvement of students and professionals in the fields of counseling, psychology, social work, medicine and pastoral ministry.


There are many people struggling with needs around the world and the impact a caring heart can have is substantial.
— Dr. George Rhoades, Founder of Roads to Hope
