NEVADA CHILD SEEKERS

Description

According to the National Missing Children Clearing House, over 8,000 children are reported missing each year in Nevada and approximately 200 are considered in danger. Created in 1985, Nevada Child Seekers has responded to these statistics to address the plight of missing children in our community. To rescue our children, our agency draws upon the wealth and experience by working in tendem with the F.B.I Internet Crimes Against Childrens Taskforce, Child Protective Services, The Department of Child and Fmaily Services, Law Enforcement, and volunteer private investigators. Most importantly, however, we rely on the number of volunteers from our community who leap into action when a child goes missing and joins our search teams. With over 95% of children being recovered safely, Nevada Child Seekers expanded efforts to not only recover missing children but also prevent children from going missing in the first place through our prevention education programs and trainings aimed towards children, teens, parents and community leaders. We are more than just a search team providing vital resources like fingerprinting and DNA kits at community events and presenting our programs to local schools and organizations in the community.
