Youth Defender Services
Youth Defender Services is a program that provides legal representation and support to young people involved in the juvenile justice or child welfare systems. Their goal is to ensure that youths receive fair treatment and have someone advocating for their rights during legal proceedings. These services are often offered by trained lawyers or advocates who understand the unique needs and challenges faced by youth in these situations. By doing so, Youth Defender Services help young people navigate complex legal processes, understand their rights, and work toward outcomes that support their well-being and future.
