Jay is an eclectic young adult who sought help pursuing Special Immigrant Juvenile (SIJ) classification to feel safe while exploring his passions.

When you spend time getting to know Ashley, her passions for the arts, makeup, and singing shine through. Unfortunately, her experience with her first tenancy was far less exciting.

Elizabeth is a leader and advocate who refused to let her circumstances control her life.  

Sharlyn is resourceful, intelligent, hardworking, and a fierce, loving parent to her young daughters. With the support of LCYC, Sharlyn secured a safe and stable place for her family to call home.

For the last two years, LCYC staff attorney Candice Dundy carried out a project to hear from young people of color ways to improve their awareness of, access to, and experiences with civil legal aid. The written report of the youth's perceptions and recommendations is now available!

Interns are incredible assets to any organization lucky enough to have them.

LCYC would like to recognize and thank the numerous social workers that play a positive role in the lives of young people, supporting each youth’s self-determination, equipping youth with tools and resources to meet their basic needs and advance their stated goals.

Applying an anti-racist approach to expanding access to justice requires LCYC to assess not just the availability of our services to a diverse group of young people, but to inquire whether our legal supports are reaching and effectively serving young people disproportionately experiencing or at risk of homelessness.

LCYC is partnering with the King County Bar Association’s Housing Justice Project (HJP) on a new initiative to prevent evictions among young adults through the Young Adult Eviction Prevention Program!
