Children’s Week at the Nevada Legislature: Join Us March 10th to 13th
Children’s Week at the Nevada Legislature is scheduled for March 10-13, 2025 in Carson City. The purpose of Children’s Week is to represent Nevada’s children and help strengthen families in areas such as school readiness, children’s physical and mental health, and child safety and security.
For the past seven legislative sessions, more than 100 different non-profit, corporate, philanthropic, and state agencies and organizations have joined together to participate in Children’s Week events aimed at promoting the health, safety and well-being of our children.
The Nevada Institute for Children’s Research and Policy (NICRP) at UNLV and the Children’s Advocacy Alliance invite all families, community partners, business leaders and advocates to join in this year’s events. Each day will focus on issues that are important to Nevada’s children and families:
- Monday, March 10th – Education
- Tuesday, March 11th – Child Welfare, Juvenile Justice, and Safety
- Wednesday, March 12th – Mental Wellness
- Thursday, March 13th – Physical Wellness
