We are the only nonprofit, missing children’s organization in Nevada and we do not charge for our services.

In Nevada, there are approximately 7,000 children reported missing each year according to the Nevada Missing Children’s Clearinghouse, Nevada Office of the Attorney General. These alarming statistics come from the National Crime Information Center, a law enforcement database. It further indicates that over 200 of the children are considered to be “endangered” by law enforcement and over 100 are missing involuntarily.
