Young Center for Immigrant Children's Rights

The Young Center works with immigrant children fleeing persecution, civil war, violence, and extreme poverty. We are the only U.S. non-profit providing independent Child Advocates-similar to guardians ad litem in state courts-for immigrant children in federal detention who have come to the border alone or been separated from family. Our LA team and volunteers accompany these children as they navigate the immigration system to ensure they are not alone, their stories are heard, and their best interests, safety, and well-being are protected.
