История Эрика
«У Эрика все так хорошо. Месяц назад он обратился ко мне и сказал: «Не могу поверить, что я действительно учусь в колледже. Никогда не думал, что зайду так далеко». Я никогда не смогу отблагодарить вас за все, что Адвокаты сделали от имени Эрика. Не проходит и дня, чтобы я не думал о том, какими спасителями вы были для него».
Our Mission
Миссия организации «Защитники детей Нью-Йорка» (AFC) состоит в том, чтобы обеспечить высококачественное образование для студентов Нью-Йорка, которые сталкиваются с препятствиями на пути к успеху в учебе, уделяя особое внимание учащимся из малообеспеченных семей.
Our Model
AFC simultaneously works side by side with students and their families, providing the one-on-one guidance and advocacy they need, while pressing for systemic reforms that benefit all students.
Our unique and flexible approach to problem-solving gets students the support they need to succeed, educates and empowers families, and drives meaningful education reform.
Free advice and legal representation
We help families of students who are struggling or experiencing discrimination in school to protect their education-related rights and obtain the educational support their children need.
Free trainings and workshops
Our know-your-rights trainings for parents, communities, educators, and other professionals equip them to better advocate on behalf of students.
Policy advocacy
Based on our 50 years of on the ground experience, we conduct policy advocacy that spurs change in the education system and improves education outcomes.
Impact litigation
When real change will not happen without a court order, our impact litigation provides the most marginalized students protection under the law, gives them the opportunity to receive a quality education, and compels education reform.
