Children of the Night meets the 20 Standards for Charity Accountability.
Children of the Night (COTN) has developed a model of case management and education combining technology and mobilized social services. The organization's case managers provide children 24-hour services seven days a week, including: rescue from pimps, medical services, public health insurance, social security/disability benefits, maternity housing, drug program placement, domestic violence shelter, emergency transportation, mental health services, psychiatric evaluations or access to psychotropic medications, advocacy with the courts, social workers, probation officers, resume preparation, jobs, access to vocational or trade schools or community colleges, and applications for federally funded student aid. COTN offers free, face-to-face online tutoring for sex trafficking victims so they may obtain their high school equivalency and escape the streets to enter the military, obtain support positions in other fields, or pursue higher education.
