Foster Kinship

Foster Kinship supports kinship families in Las Vegas, meaning grandparents, aunts, uncles, and other relatives raising children who are not their own by birth, at 8691 W Sahara Ave, 89117. The organization serves kids ages 5 to 18 and its program list reflects a mix of direct youth activities and family-level support: a kinship youth group, a kinship kids summer camp, tutoring, kinship navigation services, an emergency resource center, and family events.

Hours run Tuesday through Thursday from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM, Friday from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and Saturday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. The office is closed on Monday and Sunday. The organization operates year round, and the listing describes its facility as including a resource center and support groups, which points to ongoing case-management style support rather than a single drop-in class.

Price is listed as free, which matters for kinship caregivers who often take on a child's care unexpectedly and without the financial planning a traditional adoption or foster placement might involve. The listing does not detail a formal application process, so families should call (702) 546-9988 or visit fosterkinship.org to learn how to connect with the youth group, tutoring program, or emergency resource center.

No scholarship details beyond the free price point are recorded, and no information about special needs accommodations is on file, so families with a child who needs specific support should ask directly what Foster Kinship can offer. Instruction and support services are provided in English.

For a relative in the Sahara Avenue area near the 89117 zip code who has recently taken in a niece, nephew, or grandchild, Foster Kinship's combination of a youth group, tutoring, and an emergency resource center means the organization can potentially help with more than just one part of what a family in that situation needs.
