A Kid’s Place was founded in 1995 by the
Weld County Child Abuse Coalition as the child abuse assessment
center for Weld County.
In 1989, United Way of Weld County undertook a needs
assessment to identify significant community health and human
service problems within Weld County. Gaps in service delivery
and agency coordination in the child abuse arena were the most
critical issues identified by this community-wide evaluation
process.
The Weld County Child Abuse Coalition was formed under
the auspices of United Way to create solutions to these needs.
Pilot projects of the Coalition would be formed as internal
programs of United Way until they could be evaluated for
effectiveness and then developed into separate non-profit
agencies. The Child Advocacy Center (CAC) and Court Appointed
Special Advocate (CASA) programs are both such programs.
The CAC was formed in 1995 to reduce
trauma to victims of child abuse by providing a
multidisciplinary response in a neutral, child-friendly
environment.
CASA of Weld County was created in 1997 to train
community volunteers to speak for the best interests of abused
and neglected children within the court system and to advocate
for timely case resolution.
In July of 2000, CASA merged with A Kid’s Place. This
merger enables us to provide a continuum of services to the
abused and neglected children involved in the criminal and
Dependency and Neglect court system.

A Kid's Place is dedicated
to making a difference in the life of
one kid at a time. Please learn about our children and consider
helping our effort - somehow, someway, you can also make a
difference. Remember, our kids are the victims of circumstances not caused
by them - they are the innocents who are caught-up in the
court-system. Please help ... it
feels good!!! |
