Volunteer programs
The Children of the Night shelter volunteer program offers volunteers the opportunity to get involved at the Children of the Night home in Van Nuys, California. Volunteers are invited to host activity workshop, assist in administration with clerical work, represent the organization at various public speaking events, or professional services to the program free of charge. The WOW Professional Volunteer Program allows professionals across America the opportunity to get hands-on involvement and make an impact on the lives of children living in underfunded and undeveloped shelters in their area anywhere in the country. WOW is a cost effective means of providing resources to America’s teens that are forced to live on the streets. Read our feature article about “Children of the Night” published on El Punto magazine.

The Alumni program
Every Children of the Night resident is offered long-term support through their alumni program. Some of the services offered to alumni include résumé preparation, job placement, college placement, assistance with applying for financial aid for college, financial assistance to purchase books or school supplies or help obtaining Supplemental Social Security Benefits for the totally disabled. They offer long-term social services for those who just can’t break the cycle of drugs, prostitution, multiple pregnancies or reliance on welfare. Children of the Night graduates who have successfully completed the program continue to receive support services and many become donors to the Children of the Night program. Often times they will participate in Children of the Night publicity and serve as spokespersons at  in-house events.
