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.
"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.”
Thanks to AFC’s help and guidance, as well as Ruben’s efforts, the young man for whom educational success was deemed “unattainable” will be able to be an active contributing member of the work force!
"Because of AFC’s efforts my family and I do see the light at the end of the tunnel where our child will continue to progress so nicely and have a happy and healthy upbringing. Without AFC, none of this would have been possible."
