We are excited to announce the next webinar in our Youth State Index webinar series, Accessing Legal Services and Changing Laws to End Youth Homelessness, with two available dates to accommodate attendees across time zones!
(Click the date and time to register or use the buttons below!)
You'll hear from a youth advocate and their attorney about the importance of engaging a lawyer and how that can be a game changer in removing hard stops and barriers affecting youth, whether it's a criminal issue, an access issue, or preventing eviction/increasing stability - and more! You'll also learn about the importance of state and local advocacy work and how anyone can get involved to remove policy barriers affecting youth and to rewrite/create good policy supporting youth.
We will share free resources to support you and your community, including the revamped Homeless Youth Legal Network directory of legal services, an active listserv of advocates, as well as the recently released Model State Statutes publication!
Panelists to include: Kelly Russo, Director of the ABA Homeless Youth Legal Network, Gabriella McDonald, Deputy Director of Texas Appleseed, Rhea Yo, Director of Legal Services at Legal Counsel for Youth & Children, and Elizabeth Dawson, a Youth Advocate!
Don't miss out on this incredibly informative event, register today!
