NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF COUNSEL FOR CHILDREN
Our Work
NACC advocates for the rights of children and youth in the child welfare system, and trains and supports a diverse community of legal professionals serving children, parents, and families.
Children in child welfare cases need attorneys of their own. We’re working to make sure they have them.
