Every day in Las Vegas, countless children face unimaginable pain from abuse and neglect. Behind closed doors, their voices are silenced, their innocence stolen, and their futures placed at risk. These tragedies don’t just happen in headlines. They happen in our neighborhoods, schools, and communities.
At Olive Crest, we believe no child should suffer alone. That’s why we provide safe homes for children, counseling and life skills for teens, and resources that empower parents to build healthy, stable families. Together, we can break the cycle of abuse, restore hope, and create a future where every child and family can thrive.
THE IMPACT ON CHILDREN, TEENS, AND FAMILIES IN LAS VEGAS
THE TRANSFORMING
LIVES CAMPAIGN
VEGAS CARES ABOUT KIDS
To meet the great needs of our community, Olive Crest proposes campuses with:
- Children & Family Resource Centers (CFRC)
- Housing for Teen & Young Adult Independent Living program participants
Families need support to ensure safe, abuse-free lives for their children, and former foster youth need help transitioning into adulthood and self-sufficiency.
“When a family seeking help walks through the door of Olive Crest, I am reminded of my own journey… I believe that every child deserves a safe and loving home. Olive Crest is equipping families with the tools necessary to make safe and loving families a reality for many children.”
– Amber Danoski, Volunteer
