The Alliance for Children's Rights protects the rights of impoverished, abused and neglected young people. By providing free legal services, advocacy, and programs that create pathways to jobs and education, the Alliance levels the playing field for children who experience foster care and works to promote the stability and support that children need to thrive. Since 1992, we have served over 150,000 children. Our efforts are focused in three main areas: free legal services and advocacy for children who have been removed from home or placed in foster care; training and education for those who work with or care for these children; and system-wide reform to change policies to improve children's lives.
