Mission
Children’s Law Center of California (CLC) provides legal representation for children and youth impacted by abuse and neglect. We advocate for our clients by supporting families; fighting for reunification, permanence, educational opportunity, health, and mental health wellness; and empowering and strengthening children, families, and their communities. Our informed approach to advocacy makes us a powerful voice in local, statewide, and national child welfare system reform.
Begin to Build a Relationship
We know you care about where your money goes and how it is used. Connect with this organization’s leadership in order to begin to build this important relationship. Your email will be sent directly to this organization’s director of development and/or Executive Director.
The youth have had no ‘say so’ – my goal is to make sure that they have ‘say so,’ that we are making sure this is geared towards them.
Your Support Makes Youth Voices Heard and Change Possible
The Youth Advisory Council costs just $200,000 annually to operate – covering the youth engagement coordinator position, hourly compensation for nine council members, transportation, and meeting expenses. Your gift ensures former foster youth continue shaping the very systems meant to serve them. Whether funding a council member’s testimony at the state capitol, supporting community wellness events, or enabling youth-led training for attorneys, your donation transforms lived experience into systemic change, creating the responsive, youth-centered advocacy these young people deserved all along.
