The event is open to anyone living with disabilities, ages 14 and older.

Night to Shine requires the help of many volunteers (about 40) and is a wonderful way to connect with and serve your community of people with special needs! From serving as a guest’s buddy or member of the red carpet paparazzi, to keeping the enthusiasm up on the dance floor or serving food, make-up, hair, there is something for everyone.

To volunteer at Night to Shine, you will need to register so that you can receive a background check through your local church. Please identify which church you attend (if you are not a part of a local church, no problem, simply respond “N/A”. A training will be hosted for those who will serve as buddies to talk through possible scenarios. Children must be at least 10 in order to volunteer with parents.)
