LEGAL COUNSEL FOR YOUTH AND CHILDREN
Mission
Legal Counsel for Youth and Children (LCYC) protects the interests and safety of youth in Washington by advancing their legal rights. We accomplish our mission through direct legal representation, strong community partnerships, and systemic advocacy. Our focus areas include: child welfare, juvenile court, immigrant youth and families, and youth homelessness. In 2023, LCYC served roughly 800 young people across 19 counties. The majority of youth served by LCYC are between 12 - 24 years in age. Due to historic exclusion and other forms of oppression, youth of color and LGBTQIA+ youth are overrepresented in the systems we work across and among the youth we serve. LCYC empowers youth by helping them understand and engage in complex legal systems, influencing court decisions that will impact their lives and their families forever. LCYC also engages in systemic advocacy, which is informed by our direct representation, community partners, and youth.
