Our Supporters
CYDC relies on our incredible supporters to promote positive outcomes for all young people by ensuring excellence in youth defense and by advocating for systemic reforms in California.
We are so grateful for those who believe, like us, that all young people in California have access to excellent legal representation, receive fair and equitable treatment in the courts, and be provided with credible, trauma-informed, and community-supported alternatives to incarceration that foster success. You make our success possible.
Leadership Circle
CYDC’s Leadership Circle represents donors who are philanthropically leading the way to support our mission. Leadership Circle donors give $1000 or more each year so that CYDC can broaden our training and advocacy efforts and strengthen the infrastructure that guides the important work of our statewide pro bono attorney network.
We invite you to join our Leadership Circle if you are able. You’ll be invited to a special annual celebration event and recognized for your leadership gift in our newsletter and website.
We need your help!
CYDC’s vision is that young people in California have access to excellent legal representation, receive fair and equitable treatment in the courts, and be provided with credible, trauma-informed, and community-supported alternatives to incarceration that foster success. We’ve made progress, but we need your help to turn our vision into reality.
