Driving REQUESTs (AGES 15.5 – 18)
Youth gain independence and self-sufficiency by obtaining a driver's license, allowing them access to work, health care, school, and other pertinent activities. The Children's Foundation will provide 10 hours of driving time and, if needed, a car to pick up the youth ages 15.5 to 18.
Nevada State Law requires youth under 18 to have 50 hours of documented driving time—10 hours in the evening and 40 hours during the day.
In continuing the ongoing mission of the Children’s Foundation of Las Vegas to support the unmet needs of children who are in or have been in foster care, this application to request needs should be used by Foster Parents, CASA's, CAP Attorney and Caregivers on behalf of the children and youth in foster care.
