Learn how LSC defends the rights of children and youth in crisis and empowers them to make decisions about their lives, setting them on a path to stability and healing.
Program Areas
Safety & Stability at Home
We secure safe and stable homes for young people who cannot live with their parents by representing them in the guardianship process to get a loving adult to care for them and by advocating for the rights and needs of young people in the San Francisco foster care system.
Freedom From Deportation
LSC defends the rights of undocumented immigrant children and young people, including youth under age 18 who entered the U.S. alone and are in immigration detention without their families as well as SF Bay Area young people at risk of deportation.
Access to Education
LSC protects young people’s access to education by advocating for their rights when they are facing potential expulsion or suspension from school, keeping them on the path to graduation and preserving their place in their peer communities.
