About us
Youth Law Center (YLC) is a nonprofit legal advocacy organization that has worked for four decades to transform foster care and juvenile justice systems across the nation so every child and youth can thrive. YLC’s advocacy aims to ensure children and youth are not only protected from harm and dangerous conditions in systems, but also receive the support, opportunities and love they need to grow up healthy and happy through child-focused, research-informed advocacy strategies, including litigation, policy reform, media advocacy, collaborative system-change projects, training and advice, and public education.

"Movement lawyering is about using the law equitably and with integrity. It means that the problems and solutions we work on are informed by those most impacted. It is really about sharing and building power and keeping our ears to the community so that we can continue to advocate for laws that positively impact and reflect their needs.“ – Read this interview by Akonadi Foundation with our Executive Director Jennifer Rodriguez on the Youth Law Center's work transforming #fostercare and #juvenilejustice systems through youth-led solutions: https://lnkd.in/eZeddie7
