Juvenile Law Center's projects uphold our mission to protect and promote children’s rights and interests in the child welfare and juvenile justice systems, with a particular emphasis on ensuring that public systems do not harm children and youth in their care.
Working with the child welfare and juvenile justice systems to aid older youth in their transition out of these public systems that have supported them, and into successful, stable, healthy, and productive lives as adults in the community.
Advancing policies and practices for foster children that minimize education instability, reduce dropout rates, and promote opportunities for post-secondary education.
Ensuring that children and youth have timely access to evidence-based physical and behavioral (mental health and substance abuse) health care services.
