Night to Shine is only possible because of volunteers. It happens because all types of people do many different things. All volunteers must be at least 16 years old and will have to attend at least one training prior to the event. Check out the different ways you can serve below and let us know what you would area you would like to help with by filling out our volunteer form by clicking the link at the bottom of this page.
