The CES team collaborates with state and local agencies through demonstration sites to ensure that the voices of young people are central to the decision-making process on issues that impact their lives, building healing-centered school and agency cultures, and ensuring effective coordination amongst schools, community and public agencies. This team currently operates as a statewide program in Arizona focused on foster youth and demonstration sites in four California counties. Sites in Los Angeles and Contra Costa counties focus on youth in foster care, Santa Clara county focuses on youth in the juvenile justice system, and in Monterey the focus is on youth who are experiencing homelessness. 3546671 711768 Health & Information: NCYL leads the Reproductive Health Equity Project for Foster Youth, a collective impact initiative that partners with youth with lived experiences in the foster care system and multiple public and private agencies to dismantle system-level barriers that impede youth in foster care from accessing sexual and reproductive health care and education. Our Collaborative Responses to Commercial Sexual Exploitation Initiative brings together public agencies and community partners to change perceptions, build trust, develop and implement policy, and transform systems and community responses to commercial sexual exploitation to ensure survivors are supported to heal and thrive. Finally, our Health team works to ensure that youth across the country can access confidential healthcare, including mental healthcare, and that healthcare providers understand the laws that impact their work with adolescents. 2853172 96241 266345 Juvenile Justice: NCYL's youth justice and justice & equity campaigns are transforming the youth justice system and working to end the use of juvenile fines and fees in states across the country. In these areas, NCYL works on collective impact campaigns that leverage coalition building, communication strategies, training and technical assistance, and the direct engagement of youth and families to create changes based on principles of healthy youth development to juvenile justice system policies and practices. 1902303 243540 Legal Strategies: NCYL defends the rights of marginalized children across the country through a diverse docket of impact litigation at the school district, county, state, and federal levels. Our class-action lawsuits focus on bringing about systemic change in each of our core issue areas, which include: immigration, education, youth justice, child welfare, and health. 1403746 567462 Immigration: NCYL represents the entire class of immigrant children in U.S. federal custody, including those separated from their families, in three class-action lawsuits: Flores v. Barr, Lucas R. v. Azar, and Duchitanga v. Lloyd. Our strategies to protect the rights of immigration children and ensure that they are reunited with their families as quickly as possible include: 1) Coalition building and network strengthening; 2) Advancing impact litigation to uphold the Flores Settlement Agreement; 3) Educating the media and policymakers; and 4) Developing and disseminating resources to ensure that public systems serving immigrant children and families understand their unique traumas and respond accordingly. 916329 233000 Education: NCYL's Education work aims to create an education ecosystem that centers youth. We work to ensure equitable education opportunities for all children and youth, especially those who experience barriers due to disability, racism, socioeconomic status, and more. We also work to ensure safe and positive school environments where students can learn and thrive. 549588 Child Welfare: NCYL is leading efforts to dismantle practices that harm children in foster care, ensure youth in foster care have access to health care and education, and promote youth-, community-, and family-centered policies that preserve families and reduce reliance on the foster care system. 50744 Other small programs unrelated to the significant programs currently listed. 4822710 233000 811002 15339564 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 102 0 1 117 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 13 12 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 CA X X Karla James Dep Dir Finance & Operations 5108358098 1212 Broadway 600 Oakland CA 94612 Mary Bissell President 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Mona Tawatao Vice President 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Denise Forte Secretary 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Brian Rocca Treasurer 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Elida Bautista Board Member (End 9/23) 1.00 X 0 0 0 Peter B Edelman Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Sophie Fanelli Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Laura K Lin Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mary E McCutcheon Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jason Okonofua Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Lori Schechter Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Sandeep Solanki Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Christopher Wu Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Shakti Belway Dep.
