Legal Counsel for Youth and Children protects the interests and safety of youth in Washington by advancing their legal rights. LCYC is committed to becoming an anti-racist organization and embraces a commitment to continual learning with board and staff members.
LCYC accomplishes our mission through direct legal representation, strong community partnerships, and systemic advocacy. LCYC serves roughly 500 young people on an annual basis through four core programs: child welfare, juvenile court, youth and family immigration, and youth homelessness. The majority of youth served by LCYC are between 12 – 24 years in age. Young people of color and LGBTQ+ young people are overrepresented within these systems and among those served by LCYC.
