Organizations Filed Purposes:
Legal Services for Children ("LSC") provides free representation to children and youth who require legal assistance to stabilize their lives and realize their full potential. Through a holistic team approach utilizing legal advocacy and social work services, our goal is to empower clients and actively involve them in the critical decisions that impact their lives. LCS uses this model to achieve safety, stability, educational success and freedom from detention and freedom from deportation for our clients. In the 2019-2020 fiscal year LSC represented 666 children and youth in their legal cases.
FREEDOM FROM DEPORTATION: Immigration. Clients Served. We believe that children and youth cannot reach their full potential if they live in fear of deportation. LSC represents children in immigration cases to ensure that they can remain in a safe place with access to opportunity. During FY 2019-2020, LSC provided full-scope legal representation by an in-house or pro bono attorney in 430 immigration cases and provided screenings, know your rights education, advocacy and social work support to 199 young people being held in ORR detention.
SAFETY AND STABILITY AT HOME: Guardianship and Dependency. Clients Served. We believe all children deserve safe and stable homes where they have access to education and health opportunities. LSC represents children in guardianship and foster care cases to ensure that they have the stability they need to thrive. During FY 2019-2020, LSC represented youth in 92 probate guardianship cases and 71 children in foster care.
ACCESS TO EDUCATION: Educational AdvocacyClients Served. We believe that school discipline is a major driving force in the inequitable educational outcomes faced by low income children and children of color. LSC represents Bay Area students in expulsion hearings to ensure access to education and to work against educational inequity. During FY 2019-2020, LSC provided direct legal representation in 25 education cases for youth facing school expulsion in San Francisco, San Mateo, Solano, Alameda and Contra Costa counties.
