About Odessa’s Light
Odessa’s Light is a women's rights organization dedicated to empowering women transitioning from incarceration, homelessness, substance abuse, or institutional care. Our mission is to provide a safe, supportive pathway to re-entry through trauma-informed services, personal care, housing support, life skills, and employment readiness. We aim to help women rebuild their lives with dignity, strength, and hope by promoting safe and stable re-entry, restoring self-worth, and empowering women through education and employment while fostering community and leadership development.
“There is no force more powerful than a woman determined to rise.”
– W.E.B. Du Bois
