Youth experiencing unsafe situations at home face the choice of staying in an abusive living situation or leaving home and trying to make it on their own. Launched in February 2024, LCYC and the YMCA Social Impact Center teamed up to develop a Prevention Youth Engagement Team model to provide holistic support for youth with complex issues that require both legal and non-legal support.

LCYC has launched an online community-building space for attorneys representing children and youth in dependency and termination cases.

Legal Counsel for Youth and Children (LCYC) has been selected to receive the Outstanding Children’s Law Office Award by the National Association of Counsel for Children (NACC).

Matt's professional and personal skills have been invaluable in his volunteer work. From client interactions to drafting legal documents, his expertise has made a significant impact on the success of each youth. As he continues his journey with LCYC, Matt envisions further collaboration and expansion of services to help even more individuals in need.
