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.
“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.”
"Now I feel confident to advocate for Jayce because I know the hard work and stress it takes to make the Department of Education hear you. You guys gave me the strength I needed to keep fighting for Jayce. Thank you again!"
"The help was invaluable because after so many frustrated attempts to connect with OPT, I finally had someone who would listen and affect change on any level. Without AFC I felt powerless."
