Clark County Casa Program

Clark County CASA Program, located at 601 N Pecos Rd in Las Vegas, 89101, trains and coordinates court-appointed volunteer advocates for abused and neglected children in the foster care system, covering ages 0 to 18. Core services are CASA Volunteer Advocacy, Child Welfare Advocacy, and Foster Care Support, all centered on the child welfare and court system rather than a recreational or educational activity a family would sign a child up for directly.

The program is marked special needs friendly, with accommodations noted for Special Needs General, Emotional and Behavioral Support, Learning Disability Support, and Developmental Delay Programs, reflecting that many children in the foster care system it serves have needs in one or more of those areas.

Office hours run 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, with the office closed Saturday and Sunday. The service is free to the families and children it serves, consistent with its role as a court-connected child welfare program rather than a paid service. Instruction and advocacy work are conducted in English.

It is worth being direct about what this program is and is not: a CASA volunteer is appointed by the court to advocate for a specific child already involved in the foster care system, so this is not a program a parent enrolls a child in directly the way they would a class or camp. Families or professionals looking to volunteer as a CASA advocate, or looking to understand how CASA advocacy works for a child already in the system, are the more likely audience for this listing rather than a parent searching for a weekend activity.

For anyone connected to a child in Clark County's foster care system, or considering becoming a volunteer advocate, call (702) 455-2272 during weekday office hours to ask about the volunteer application process, training requirements, or how CASA advocacy applies to a specific case.
