About This Program

Target Population: Children who have been sexually exploited as prostitutes

Program Overview

Children of the Night is a privately funded non-profit organization established in 1979 and dedicated to rescuing America's children from the ravages of prostitution.

The Children of the Night home is open to child prostitutes throughout the United States, and the Children of the Night hotline is ready and able to rescue these children 24 hours a day. The program provides taxi/airline transportation nationwide for America's child prostitutes who wish to escape prostitution and live in its home.

The Children of the Night hotline staff works closely with law enforcement to rescue children from their pimps.

The Children of the Night home features an on-site school and college placement program. After youngsters complete the rigorous and comprehensive program of academic and life-skills education, caseworkers are available to provide ongoing case management to hundreds of graduates.
