Court Appointed Special Advocate

Hello and welcome! CASA of Carson City is looking for men and women, 21 years of age and older, to volunteer and advocate for children that are currently in foster care.

Heading into the weekend, there’s a bevy of activities around the Carson City region. New safety guidelines for the state of Nevada have been enforced, so please make sure to bring a mask and practice social distancing.

The Children's Museum of Northern Nevada and Court Appointed Special Advocate are having a community event dedicated to Pokemon Go and family fun. The event includes playing Pokemon Go, a scavenger hunt, a costume contest, raffle prizes, and so much more.

Until he became a Court Appointed Special Advocate, Eric Stahlman said he didn’t realize his heart needed to grow. He now has more compassion and understanding for kids and parents struggling in the community.

Want to become more involved in your community? Want to volunteer but unsure how you can make a difference?

Join us for our first ever Facebook LIVE event this Thursday, April 30, 2020 at 12:00 p.m. You can watch by going here.

Good times, sunny skies, activities and more are planned around the Carson City area as we head into Thursday, July 11. Hikes, bike rides, art, food trucks at Mills Park, a Carson City CASA information night, a sentimental journey along Highway 395 presentation and more are lined up for the day. Enjoy

Every child needs a hero, but abused children need Superheroes. We’ve heard a million times that kids are sponges, absorbing all that they see and hear. That includes the good, the bad and the ugly. It makes sense that they want to imitate one of the good guys in a show or cartoon. To a child, a superhero is magical. A superhero is powerful! A superhero can help keep them safe.

We're working our way into Thursday, April 25, 2019 and feeling the warmup around the Carson City region. Winding down our work week we have art, theater and railroad history talks, library presentations, a fitness walk, climate change discussion, back pain wellness workshop, music ensemble at the community center and more. Enjoy the day.

Hello Carson City and welcome to Thursday, April 18, 2019. Another day of sunshine and warm temperatures are ahead. We've got a mixed plate of activities lined up today including art showings, a poetry reading, day hike, live music and more. Enjoy the day.

It's that time of year again! CASA of Carson City is looking for a few good men and women to join the ranks of our CASA volunteers.

Come learn what it means to be a Court Appointed Special Advocate or CASA! Carson City CASA is beginning their first volunteer training session of 2019. Would you like to advocate for children? Do you feel strongly that a child's voice should be heard? Would you like to make a difference? Then CASA may be just for you.

The Nevada Division of Child and Family Services is holding a foster parent information night on Wednesday, March 7 at Fremont Elementary School from 5:30 to 7 p.m.

I hope you’ve got your Halloween costume ready. A week of various Halloween activities, trick-or-treats, and festivities for the kids begins tomorrow with the first ever Boo-nanza: a family-friendly collaboration between the Community Center, Carson City Library, and Aquatic Center. Tonight, the over 21 crowd gets to enjoy a costume contest at Alatte inside the Carson Nugget, with many more parties on the way.

“There can be no keener revelation of a society's soul than the way in which it treats its children.” — Nelson Mandela

More than 700,000 children experience abuse and/or neglect each year. Instead of playing with neighbors and making happy family memories, they’re attending court hearings, adjusting to new foster homes and transitioning to new schools. That’s a heavy burden for a child to carry.

Did you ever want to help children in foster care? To be a voice for a child who cannot speak up on their own? What about just helping children in your community, letting them know that they are wanted and that there is a person (YOU!) who listens to them and advocates for their best interests?
