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.
With support from an advocate, bright Eric was able to access the education programed geared toward his individual needs, allowing him to flourish as a student.
"From the first conversation with an advocate, I felt heard, and our struggle was validated. Thanks to her hard work, my son was able to begin 9th grade at a school that was a perfect fit for him.”
