About NIGHT LIGHTS, INC.

Night Lights, Inc. is a Colorado-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides free monthly respite care evenings for children ages 1 month to 13 years who have special needs and their neurotypical siblings. Each child is paired one-on-one with a trained, background-checked volunteer and a registered nurse is present at every event to support medical needs.

Founded in March 2011, Night Lights operates multiple sites across Colorado (including Arvada, Broomfield, Colorado Springs, Grand Junction, Littleton, and Parker). The organization runs year-round monthly events (typically the 2nd Friday of each month except July), trains volunteers, and raises funds through community events and an annual gala to keep services free for families.
