We have collected a non-exhaustive list of nonprofit, legal, and government agencies that provide support, resources, and advocacy for detained youth and families in NYC.

Guides on youth and parental rights; legal resources; advocacy tips; lawsuit details on educational rights.

The DOE has liaisons in six courthouses across New York City. They help students, families, and agency partners get educational records and referrals to school and social services.

YJN offers advocates for detained youth, mothers, and fathers. Families can count on advocates for help accessing food, housing, careers, and education during and after imprisonment. Contact fsmith@youthjustice.org to make a referral or for more information.
