Child Advocates of Nevada County is an organization with a mission to advocate for the wellbeing of children by disrupting cycles of abuse, giving children a voice, and supporting families in raising healthy children. Never has there been a more critical time in our community to focus on the mental health and wellbeing of our future generation. 

Child Advocates was established in 1993 to oversee the CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) of Nevada County program. The agency received its 501(c)(3) designation in 1994. in 1996, the Board of Directors expanded its mission to include prevention services in addition to advocacy for children in Dependency Court. The agency name was changed to Child Advocates of Nevada County and three abuse prevention programs were added; Child Safety Puppeteers (1996 and its complementary program Steps to Resect 2010), Foothills Healthy Babies (1998 and expanded to Foothills Truckee Healthy Babies 2011) and Welcome Baby (2010). Child Advocates of Nevad County serves a rural community with population of just under 100,000 residents. The agency is governed by a Board of Directors and currently has 18 staff members, 3 programs, and 3 office locations. We serve families in both eastern and western Nevada County and have changed the lives of more than 10,000 children to date.
