Mission
Youth Represent uses legal services, policy advocacy, peer education, and other tools to build power and opportunity for Black, Latiné, and other youth of color who the criminal legal system and other systems of oppression harm the most. We envision a world where the racist legal system has been dismantled and BIack, Latiné, Indigenous, and other youth of color have the freedom and power to live their full lives.
About
Community-Lawyering Model: Youth Represent has served 1,131 youth by providing direct legal representation and advice; we have educated 1,787 through 106 Know Your Rights workshops. We worked on 442 cases in employment, housing, education, family, and criminal law, and reviewed criminal histories for 688 youth so they could have an accurate understanding of what will appear on background checks. We also brought on new partner organizations to our community-lawyering model, including Drive Change and the NYC Department of Youth & Community Development's Intern and Earn program.
