NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF COUNSEL FOR CHILDREN

Imagine a child in court, facing decisions that will shape the rest of their life and their family. A child, depending on the child welfare legal system, to listen, to understand, and to get it right.

Every child in court deserves to be heard. Every child in court deserves a lawyer who will stand beside them, with them, to elevate their voice and fight for what’s right.

At the National Association of Counsel for Children (NACC), we’ve worked for nearly 50 years to establish children’s right to counsel and ensure the rights of all children are recognized, protected, and championed.

NACC's Children's Justice Fund strengthens our ability to uplift the rights and futures of children and families. With your support, NACC can continue to lead necessary changes in the law, train legal advocates, and expand legal protections for young people. Together, we are building a future where every child’s rights are not only preserved but realized.
