Youth Law Center (YLC) is a nonprofit legal advocacy organization headquartered in San Francisco, California, with a focus on reforming foster care and juvenile justice systems. For four decades, it has pursued child-centered, research-informed strategies—including litigation, policy reform, media advocacy, collaborative system-change projects, training, and public education—to ensure that children and youth are protected from harm and given the support they need to thrive. Its work targets systems serving vulnerable young people, aiming to improve outcomes by addressing conditions and expanding opportunities, relationships, and protections within care and justice settings. Recent activity highlights expansion of services in New Mexico, collaboration on federal advocacy to improve access to Social Security benefits for foster youth with disabilities, and participation in related events and initiatives, reflecting its ongoing efforts to influence policy and practice at multiple levels.
