Student Hosts

Mainstream students between 15 and 25 who want to be a buddy to an Honored Guest

Registration is currently suspended.

This is for mainstream students ages 15 – 25 who want to be a BUDDY to an Honored Guest with special needs.

Hosts that are age 18 or older WILL BE REQUIRED TO PASS A BACKGROUND CHECK. This form will be emailed to you and the fee paid by An Evening to Treasure.

You, as the Host, will be assigned to an Honored Guest the night of the prom. You will be assigned specifically to your Honored Guest based upon age, gender, and needs of the Honored Guest. You will be dedicated to your Guest for the duration of the evening. Your job is to be the Honored Guest’s friend, host, confidant, and encourager. All Hosts are required to provide and wear their own suit or tuxedo (boys) or dress (girls).

All Student Hosts are required to attend a Disability Training prior to the prom. Training is approximately 3 hours.

What does being a Host look like?

As a Student Host, you will be assigned to a Honored Guest for the entirety of the night and will walk through each station with them as they get their hair and makeup done, and then help them pick out a crown/tiara, corsage/boutonnnire, jewelry/shoe shine. You will go with them to get their photo taken (you will also be in the picture with them). After this, you will go with them in the Limo rides and walk the Red Carpet with them. You will dance with them, eat a free Chick-Fil-A meal with them, and meet and interact with other Guests and Hosts. Your main responsibility is to serve your Honored Guests and make sure that they feel loved, celebrated, and will remember this night for years to come! You play a HUGE role in this process and will determine how your Guests night turns out.

Do I need a background check?

If you are over the age of 18 years old, then yes. This will be either be emailed to you to fill out and send back as your earliest convenience, or you will fill it out and return it to us at the manditory training date you will be attending.

What do I wear?

Please arrive dressed as if you were going to prom and be ready to serve as a Host.

Guys – If you do not own or rent a tuxedo, please wear a dress shirt and slacks (meaning no jeans). Do NOT wear cologne.
Girls – Please wear a dress (if this means your prom dress, please make sure that it is appropriate to wear, meaning not too short, tight, or exposing a large amount of skin). We STRONGLY recommend flats, not high-heels. Do NOT wear perfume.

**Please note: If you are dressed inappropriately, we will send you home and you will not be allowed to serve**

What do I do when I check in for the prom?

After you have checked in with our Registration team, you will be paired with an Honored Guest for the rest of the night. When you have been paired, introduce yourself to the parents and ask if there is anything that you should know before they say goodbye to their child (i.e. allergies, seizures, noise sensitivity, contact info).
