Redlight Children needs your help! Preventing child slavery and exploitation is the responsibility of all the communities around the world. One of the number one questions we receive at RedLight Children is how to get involved. Anyone can help in their own special way.

We have internship positions available in the Fall, Spring and Summer semesters and give academic credit to all interns in undergraduate and graduate school programs. Please check out our Volunteer and Internship needs to the right.
Use your Skills:
Every individual has a special skill, and Redlight Children is interested in putting the talents of skilled professionals to good use. You could help to design a shirt or bag for the campaign. Artists could create art pieces for fundraising auctions. If you’re a performer, lend us your talents for a night. If interested, please email admin@redlightchildren.org.
Utilize your Contacts:
Your social network might prove invaluable to our mission. If you know influential people who can lend a hand, help us get in touch with them. They could be politicians, senior management of your company (or other companies), celebrities who can be spoke persons or press contacts to help us raise awareness.

Matching Gifts:
Many companies have matching gift programs doubling your individual, tax-deductible donations. Check with you company’s human resources or payroll department to see whether or not it offers a matching gift program and ask for the donation guidelines and a list charities your company does offer a matching gift program. We are currently registered with Microsoft’s Matching Gift Program as well as the GE Foundation. If you work for a company where we are not already registered, please nominate us to see if we can be added. For further information on how to complete the corporate matching process, please contact admin@redlightchildren.org.
Make an In-Kind Donation:
As a nonprofit, we are always looking for ways to reduce our overhead and operations costs. Help us by donating tangibles such as electronic equipment and/or supplies. Additionally, donate tangibles that could be auctioned off to raise funds such as gift certificates, wine, gym memberships, spa vouchers, etc. For more information on how to make an in-kind donation, please email us at: admin@redlightchildren.org.
Provide a Venue:
We are hold multiple events throughout the year. If you work for, own, or know somebody who is willing to donate the venue for free or at a reduced nonprofit rate, we are interested! Donate a venue for an awareness, fundraising and/or screening event. Potential venues include concert halls, auditoriums, lounges, and clubs.
Purchase Merchandise:
RedLight Children introduces two new partnerships with Nomi Network’s Buy Her Bag Not Her Body, a non-profit leveraging the marketplace to eradicate sexual slavery and Made By Survivors, a non-profit providing an economic alternative to slavery and exploitation for women and youth at high risk for being trafficked. Handicraft purchases provide much-needed revenue to the anti-trafficking agencies where survivors and high risk girls live and work. The income generated through these programs goes to pay the artisans, and also helps pay for long-term care, education, medical and psychological services, legal aid, public awareness programs, trafficking prevention, and more.
We will feature select merchandise from our partners on our Store page as well as in our bi-monthly newsletters in which you can receive 10-50% off featured items and 5-10% of the proceeds will be donated back to RedLight Children.
