CLC provides legal representation to MN foster youth, advocates at risk-youth and educates child advocates, lawyers & at-risk youth.
Since 1995 Children’s Law Center (CLC) has provided free legal services to Minnesota youth in foster care. With the help of 250 volunteer attorneys, CLC provides these professional legal services to 500-600 Minnesota foster children every year. In addition to direct representation, CLC engages in systemic reform benefiting all of Minnesota’s foster children, and develops educational programming and materials for people involved in the child protection system and for foster care and at-risk youth.
