At The Legal Kid Foundation, our mission is to empower youth by providing them with the knowledge, mentorship, and leadership skills they need to transform their futures. We focus on legal literacy, civic engagement, and social-emotional learning, helping young people understand their rights, overcome adversity, and recognize their inherent power to lead and create change.
We believe that every child, regardless of background, deserves to see their potential reflected in the world around them. Our programs equip youth with the tools to break cycles of poverty, inequality, and injustice, giving them the confidence to not only navigate complex systems but to become advocates for themselves, their families, and their communities. By fostering resilience, promoting critical thinking, and providing mentorship, we inspire the next generation of leaders to rise above their challenges and to create lasting, positive change in the world.
Through partnership, education, and empowerment, The Legal Kid Foundation creates opportunities for youth to redefine their futures, ensuring that they not only succeed academically but grow as responsible, engaged leaders who understand the value of justice, fairness, and community.
If we want our children to participate in social change, we must first teach them the strategic prioritization of social values and limitations, budgetary planning, and compelling negotiations involved in a true democracy.
Don’t wait until they’re underwater to teach them lessons in LAW!
It’s impossible to help people without people helping others. We always need volunteers who love to help.
