Keeping Children Safe and Families Together

Everyone has dreams, and they can make them happen with the right support. At The Children’s Cabinet, we understand everyone thrives in different conditions. Our advocates and services are tailored to meet the unique needs of every child and family who walks through our doors.

The Children’s Cabinet’s mission is to keep children safe and families together. We do this by providing services and resources that address unmet needs. We partner with both the private sector and public agencies in Nevada to cooperatively support the families who need us most.

The Children’s Cabinet, Inc., was established in December 1985, as a private non-profit organization. Today, The Children’s Cabinet serves more than 10,000 Nevada families each year from six locations throughout the state in Reno, Carson City, Las Vegas, and Elko.

The Children’s Cabinet approaches our work with a collaborative lens and is dedicated to bringing diverse groups “to the table” to look at the issues facing children and families. Together, we develop innovative responses to meet those needs. The Children’s Cabinet offers many programs and services for children and families in our community:

• Free Parenting Classes

• Free Family Counseling

• Onsite Food Market

• Childcare Resource & Referral

• Childcare Subsidy Assistance

• Connect with Your Teens Workshops

• High School Support

• Support for Former Foster Youth

• Youth Workforce Development

• Wraparound Case Management

• Crisis Intervention

The Children’s Cabinet works to respond to urgent needs that impact children, teens, and families, providing them with the tools and resources to succeed. Our case managers are supporting families going through heart-wrenching situations every day. We help families at no cost. Families like Becky’s.

Becky is a single mom to her son, Jay. Becky works full-time and Jay is a student at our Redfield Academy. We have been able to help get Jay back on track with school in a few short months and assist the family with immediate basic needs like food and rent. They struggled to pay essential bills due to an unexpected car repair that took most of their monthly budget.

Becky wrote the following in an email:

“Jay texted me on the second day of school that his anxiety was so bad that he was trying to get through it and wanted to leave school. I texted his case manager and a minute later, I got a text from Jay saying, ‘Wow, Mom. I’ve never ever had a teacher treat me like that or even a person. She’s nice. Really nice.’ That moment was life-changing for him. .”

“Lastly, I want to say thank you for the support that helped me catch up on my rent. I am actually crying writing this to you because I am so grateful for everything The Children’s Cabinet has done for us. I feel like I am one of those people who can talk about how desperate my situation used to be and how The Children’s Cabinet and Redfield Academy helped me get through it.”

As a non-profit agency, The Children’s Cabinet relies on community support to offer programs and services at no charge to children and their families. We cannot do this alone, and community support allows us to continue the work we do.

Please consider a gift to The Children’s Cabinet, so we can continue to impact the lives of children and families in our community.
