Guided by their insights, we use litigation, policy change, partnerships, and research to ensure that every child's rights are protected and every voice is heard. 0 0 4968489 50000 Education: Through research, collaboration, and advocacy, we work with students, educators, and public-agency partners to turn schools into positive, compassionate environments where every student - especially those in foster system, the justice system, or those experiencing homelessness - belongs and is respected. We challenge discriminatory discipline, fight to strengthen education services, and provide cutting-edge research so that students' voices and experiences guide the decisions that shape their learning. 3932147 514953 Children's Health & Wellbeing: National Center for Youth Law's ("NCYL's") health & wellbeing work improves the lives of children and youth across issue areas. Led by youth with lived experience, our Reproductive Health Equity Project for Foster Youth (RHEP) tears down policy barriers that keep young people from accessing sexual and reproductive health care services. Our advocacy to help children and youth flourish includes strengthening approaches to mental health. NCYL also works to transform the child welfare system to better support youth and families. With respect to combating commercial sexual exploitation of children and youth, our collaborative work shifts the response from criminalization to healing and centering the voices of survivors in policy discussions. A key part of NCYL's work in this area is also training providers, advocates, and communities on laws that protect adolescents' confidentiality, ensuring that every youth can seek help for their physical and mental well-being without fear or stigma. 3196416 600000 Youth Justice & Equity: Together with youth, their families, community leaders, and system officials, NCYL is working to create a justice system that fosters growth rather than punishment. We spearhead campaigns to erase burdensome juvenile fines and fees in states across the country, and through coalition building, communication strategies, training and technical assistance, work to build a justice landscape where all young people can heal and thrive. 2182423 679342 Legal Strategies: NCYL defends the rights of children across the country through a comprehensive 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 policy affecting children, education policy, the youth justice system, child welfare, and children's health and wellbeing. 1433443 Children's Human Rights & Dignity: NCYL believes that no circumstance strips a child of their inherent dignity, whether that circumstance is migration, family crisis, or poverty. As co-counsel in Flores, NCYL represents children in federal immigration custody, advocating for humane conditions and reuniting children with their families in accordance with the law. We also lead efforts to dismantle practices that harm children in the foster system, fight to ensure that youth have access to health care and education, and promote youth-centered, community-centered, and family-centered policies that preserve families and reduce reliance on the foster system. 42949 Other small programs unrelated to the significant programs currently listed. 3658815 679342 15755867 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 1 107 0 1 116 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 14 13 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 CA X X X X Jason Sutton Senior Controller 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 Preetha Chakrabarti Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 June Dipchand Board Member 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 Frank Figgers Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Laura K Lin Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mary E McCutcheon Board Member (end 12/24) 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 (end 12/24) 1.00 X 0 0 0 Shakti Belway Executive Director 37.50 X X 312007 0 27683 Karla James Dep.
