LGBTQ Youth Leaving Foster Care Need Your Help
The QLaw At Risk Youth Project is seeking volunteers to participate in a new pro bono program providing legal assistance to youth who are leaving foster care. A disproportionate number of these youth are LGBTQ. Training materials and mentoring/assistance are available to lawyers interested in pro bono representation of youth through this program.
The Center for Children & Youth Justice, the ABA Bar-Youth Empowerment Program and Perkins Coie LLP launched the Lawyers Fostering Independence Program with a CLE on November 20th. If you missed the opening CLE, you are still welcome to participate in the program. Please email Michael Heath at for details.
