NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF COUNSEL FOR CHILDREN

Our Work

NACC trains and certifies attorneys who represent children, families, and agencies; supports a diverse community of professionals; and advocates for policy reform alongside young people and families.

NACC has given me a renewed passion for child law, rights and justice… Being with like minded people who show optimism for the future gave me a new lease on change. Thank you!
