Mission

The Center for Children’s Advocacy’s mission is to protect and promote the legal rights of low-income children and youth so they have equitable opportunities for good health, a quality education and a successful transition to adulthood. We provide legal representation and advocate for system reforms to ensure children’s basic needs are met and they receive appropriate services from the juvenile justice, education, child welfare, health care and court systems. We have offices in Connecticut's largest and poorest cities, and our mobile office goes directly to youth in communities that need us the most.
