Advocates for Children of New York has a singular vision: an equitable and inclusive school system where all students receive the education they need to maximize their potential as adults.
We fight for families
For more than 50 years, we have fought beside NYC families from under-resourced communities through a unique combination of services, all focused on protecting education rights and eliminating barriers to success so all students can thrive.
"Here is someone who did not achieve any academic success until he received the appropriate services. Adrian is very ambitious and he thrives on keeping busy. He is a perfect example of what children can achieve with proper support."
“It's my hope it will remind parents not to give up! I thank you so much for your dedication to my family, it literally changed our lives and we'll forever be grateful.”
For six years, AFC and pro bono attorneys represented Asha and Ayanna to make certain the girls received the support they needed to be successful in school.
