Team Child-Legal Advocacy for Youth
Every day, thousands of youth face profound legal and social barriers that increase their chances of dropping out of school, being homeless or ending up in the juvenile justice system.
TeamChild uses its legal expertise and community partnerships to break down barriers to community services in order to overcome the root causes of a youth’s involvement in the juvenile justice system.
TeamChild’s work is committed to making sure that we are all listening to young people’s perspectives and voices and including them in making decisions about their lives. The stakes for the youth we work with are high ‐ without assistance to address their urgent needs, they may drop out of school, end up homeless, or incarcerated. Legal services for youth are the core of our agency’s work and inform our outreach, trainings, and broader advocacy.
