Today is National Voter Registration Day, and we are proud to launch our new initiative, NV Votes 4 Kids.
This new, nonpartisan campaign is designed to educate voters about the critical issues facing Nevada’s children and families and to mobilize voter turnout around these concerns.

The NVVotes4kids.org website features resources to help voters understand the impact their vote can have on children’s futures and the importance of elevating those issues during the election season. Child advocacy voters may access voter registration information, identify their elected officials, and sign an “I Vote for Kids” pledge on the website. #nvvotes4kids #VoiceForChildren #nationalvoterregistrationday

Our hearts go out everyone in our community who has been affected by the Davis Creek wildfire disaster.

Our Executive Director was proud to be part of the State team at the Hunt Institute Early Childhood Leadership Summit. ECS leaders from across the country convened in Las Vegas to learn strategies to improve early childhood systems. Nevada scores a 33/80 in Growth and Impact in Early Learning. Our public childcare and early learning programs serve less than 50% of eligible families. While our EC programs have drastically evolved, Nevada must do more to expand programs that set children up for success.

Service Opportunity: Nevada Based Training and Pee

Service Opportunity: Nevada Based Training and Peer Navigator Opportunity

Purpose:
The state of Nevada is partnering with FosterClub to help youth and young adults who have been in foster care with training and the potential to become a Peer Navigator!

Training: Is open to 14 youth and young adults from the state of Nevada. The Training will be virtual and each participant will be paid a stipend for their time. Training will be approximately 10 hours total and will be spread out over multiple days. Training will be completed by September 30th.

Peer Navigation: At completion of training FosterClub will be recruiting three Peer Navigators who have experience in Nevada’s foster care system. These Peer Navigators will help their peers in foster care find resources as they navigate leaving foster care and entering adulthood. A big part of a Peer Navigator's job is to reach out to their peers and encourage them to complete the National Youth in Transition Database (NYTD) survey. This survey gives young people a chance to share their experiences and stories to improve the foster care system. Peer navigators are paid by a stipend for their time!!!
