Litigation
We fight to ensure children are always represented and will quickly find home.
Accountability Through Courts
For all children who are eligible to stay in the United States, we advocate for prompt permanency determination that are grounded in their wishes and best interests. However, whenever officials determine, a child must return to their home country, we ensure children’s experiences garnered from home studies are considered.
“No proceeding is fair when a child is unrepresented.”
Gladis Molina Alt, Young Center Executive Director
Through our litigation and systems change work, we fight to ensure children are treated first and foremost as children. We work to guarantee they can access the border and have a fair shot at requesting asylum or other forms of protective status.
