Founder/ President
Tyler Cornu

July 2021 - Present 

Tyler was born and raised in Nevada and is now raising her family here. She began her Real Estate career in 2017 and was recently named the CEO of the Nevada Real Estate Group. Tyler's vision for the Nevada Kids Foundation stemmed from her adopting local families during the Christmas season. With Covid 19 paired with the affordable housing crisis Tyler saw a much greater need than what she was able to do alone. In 2021 the Nevada Kids Foundation was born. Tyler has a heart for giving and takes immense pride in the foundation's success and the impact we're making on our local youth.

Project Manager
Lauren Czarnecki-Baros
October 2023- Present

Lauren is a married mother of three who originally hails from the East Coast. She moved to Sparks, NV when she was 16 and never looked back. She always knew from a young age she wanted to be doing something in life where she was helping people; which lead her to receive her Bachelors degree in Criminal Justice and minors in Substance Abuse Treatment and Political Science. She worked for the State of Nevada for 8 years with mentally-disordered offenders, but realized she wanted to be in a capacity where she was able to make more of a hands-on difference. After working with adults for 8 years, she realized it all starts with childhood. If a difference can be made in a child’s life in a positive way, it can truly help shape them for years to come.

 

In her free time she attends lots of soccer practices, games and travel softball tournaments rooting her kids on!

How we got started...

Northern Nevada native and Real Estate CEO, Tyler Cornu founded the non profit organization for youth during the summer of 2021. After personally adopting families for Christmas for the last several years, she was moved to action when she began to recognize just how profound the issues really are for our communities struggling youth. With the need greater than ever after the impact of Covid-19 and the affordable housing crisis, Tyler joined forces with Director Kallie Todaro and together they brought to life a new foundation that supports our youth and will have a greater impact by helping to fill the gaps and needs of our local communities,  not just for the holidays but throughout the entire year.

We believe all children should be given the chance

to define their own futures.
