The National Association of Counsel for Children is a nonprofit membership and advocacy organization focused on child welfare and ensuring access to high-quality legal representation. It works to advance the rights, well-being, and opportunities of children and families affected by the child welfare system. The organization emphasizes that outcomes improve when children have skilled lawyers and when all parties—children, parents, and social services—are represented by capable counsel. Based in Denver, Colorado, and founded in 1977, NACC operates within the law practice field by offering programs and resources that improve the quality of legal representation for children, parents, and agencies. It supports professionals in the children’s advocacy field and advocates for policies that expand rights, including the right to counsel for both children and parents. In 2023 it published the fourth edition of its reference work on child welfare law and practice, reflecting ongoing efforts to advance practice standards in neglect, abuse, and dependency cases.
