April 2024

It's National Volunteer Month! Every April we celebrate and recognize the work put in by volunteers towards positively uplifting their communities.

This month is also an opportunity for community members to sign up to become volunteers themselves! You can make a tangible impact on the life of an unaccompanied immigrant child by signing up for our upcoming National Volunteer Child Advocate trainings. Click the button below to register for an upcoming info session. 

We are so thankful to everyone who has donated so far to our Justice for Separated Families fundraiser! So far we've raised over $1.4 million with your support. But we need to reach our $3 million goal.

You can support Justice for Separated Families and make sure families applying for asylum get the high-quality, free legal representation they need to stay in the United States.

Meet our summer 2024 cohort of Elizabeth Frankel Fellows!

Aaron Rodriguez, Carola Aisenberg, and Fatima Salinas will spend 10 weeks training to zealously advocate for children, and to carry on Elizabeth Frankel's vision of honoring the child’s wishes through careful, strategic advocacy, under the guidance of Young Center staff within the Child Advocate Program.

We are excited to welcome them aboard!
