Frequently asked questions

Night to Shine is an unforgettable prom night experience, centered on God’s love, for people with special needs ages 14 and older.

Night to Shine is the Friday before Valentine's Day. In 2025, it will be on Friday, February 7.

Night to Shine is a complimentary event for people with special needs hosted by local churches around the world. But registration is required so we can plan for our Honored Guests.

Night to Shine requires the help of hundreds of volunteers 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, there is something for everyone.

To volunteer at Night to Shine, you will need to register, receive a background check and attend mandatory volunteer training.

Guest and Volunteer Registration for Night to Shine 2025 will open in the Fall. Check back on this website for updates.

Thank you so much for your desire to support Night to Shine and celebrate people with special needs!
