On any given day, we help hundreds of children solve problems that no child should face. No child should have to wait months to meet with a therapist who can treat their depression. No grandparent should be without support when they step in to take care of their grandchild. No student should have to fight for the special education services she needs to learn. No parent should have to go to court to ensure their landlord fixes the moldy floor that is sending their child with asthma to the ER.
Together with DC children and families, community partners and pro bono attorneys, we use the law to solve children’s urgent problems today and improve the systems that will affect their lives tomorrow. Since our founding in 1996, we have reached more than 50,000 children and families directly and multiplied our impact by advocating for city-wide solutions that benefit hundreds of thousands more.
