Children of the Night, Inc

Mission Statement

Children of the Night is a privately funded non-profit organization established in 1979 with the specific purpose to provide intervention in the lives of children who are sexually exploited and vulnerable to or involved in prostitution and pornography.

Since our inception in 1979, all Children of the Night programs have been exclusively funded by private donations from foundations, corporations, and individuals.

Children of the Night has rescued over 11,000 American children from prostitution RIGHT HERE IN THE UNITED STATES in the last 44 years – that is more children than all child sex trafficking programs in America combined.

Permanent solutions for young people trying to escape prostitution may only be resolved by innovative social services – not by law enforcement.

To that end, Children of the Night developed an effective model of case management and education combining advanced internet technology and mobilized social services for sex trafficking victims.

From our headquarters, Case Managers provide children 24-hour services, 7 days a week. We rescue young people from pimps, help with medical services, public health insurance, social security/disability benefits, maternity housing, drug program placement, domestic violence, transportation, mental health services, psychiatric evaluations, or access to psychotropic medications. We advocate with the courts, social workers, and probation officers. We help with resumes, job placement, access to vocational or trade schools or community colleges, applications for FAFSA (federally funded financial aid) – we are ready and willing to help.

Our FREE one-on-one tutoring program through ZOOM tutors sex trafficking victims for the high school diploma – the first step in escaping the streets. A high school diploma enables them to enter the military or work in support positions in medicine or law; attend vocational or trade school and even community college.

Our students are unable to attend regular school because of extensive existing trauma and an on-going chaotic lifestyle so our case management program dovetails with our High School Diploma tutoring.

Globally, our ZOOM tutoring is teaching English and Math to Child Sex Trafficking Victims living in Christian or Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs).

Many of these children are unable to leave the safe refuge where they seek protection because the risk of kidnapping for sex or labor trafficking is REAL.

When these children learn English, they can obtain employment in their country’s call centers or tourist industry. With strong math skills and high scores on their nation’s math test, their own countries will fund their college education and increasing their employment opportunities in IT (Internet Technology).

With our innovative programs, we will be able to help another 11,000 at-risk youth in a fraction of the time and cost it took to help the first 11,000.

All gifts are spent on domestic programs (America) unless otherwise indicated by the donor.
