Hope Center Indy Podcast
Welcome to the Hope Center Indy Podcast! Hope Center Indy is a residential care program for women overcoming sex trafficking, sexual exploitation, and addictions located in Indianapolis, Indiana. It seems as if every day brings us a story to share of how the Holy Spirit is working in the lives of the residents, staff, volunteers, and guests that visit our campus. With so many stories and our great desire to Glorify His Kingdom, we decided to create a podcast to help share these stories. Thank you for joining us on this journey.

Dan Leary: Becoming A Volunteer
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Creating a safe place for healing, growth, and transformation requires more than staff and facilities. It requires an army of volunteers who show up, serve, and believe in the mission.
Dan Leary is one of those volunteers. After retiring, Dan knew he wanted to serve his community, he just didn't know where. Then he attended a Saturday tour at Hope Center Indy, and everything clicked. Walking back to his car, he told his wife four simple words: "I think I found it."
Now, Dan serves two days a week as part of the team that keeps Hope Center's 25-acre campus and 210,000 square feet of space running. From maintenance to operations, Dan's work allows residents to focus on what matters most: rebuilding their lives. And for Dan, the reward isn't just in the work, it's in being part of a mission he deeply believes in.
This episode is about why volunteers are the backbone of Hope Center Indy, what it's like to serve on the front lines of anti-trafficking work, and how one Saturday tour changed Dan's retirement from restful to purposeful. If you've ever wondered whether your time and skills could make a difference, Dan's story will inspire you.
