About this organization
Mission
The mission of Legal Aid Center of Southern Nevada is the preservation of access to justice and the provision of quality legal counsel, advice and representation for individuals who are unable to protect their rights because they cannot afford an attorney.
About
The Children's Attorneys Project has as its primary mission to ensure that abused and neglected children in our child welfare system have their own voice in court through legal representation. We represented approximately 90% of the children in foster care, many of whom view their attorney as the only person who has positively impacted their lives. Our special education program assists children who are being denied their federally mandated special education rights plans and ensures that all children have equal access to a quality education. As a part of this effort, we also recruit volunteer educational surrogates to stand in as the child's 'parent' at these hearings and to advocate for the child's special education rights.
