Center for Children's Advocacy

Fighting for the legal rights of Connecticut's most vulnerable children. The Center for Children's Advocacy is a nonprofit law firm that provides legal representation and advocacy for the poorest, most at-risk children and youth. The work is difficult and it is critical: abuse and neglect, racial justice, educational inequities, immigration, youth homelessness, juvenile justice, access to medical and mental health care. We have offices in Connecticut's largest and poorest cities, and our mobile office goes directly to youth in communities that need us the most. The Center provides legal representation and advocacy that gives at-risk children the opportunity every child should have: a chance to lead a healthy and productive life.
