Our Volunteers
CYDC’s mission to defend youth rights by building and training a statewide defense coalition that challenges injustices, drives policy change, and champions community is only possible because of our volunteers.
CYDC partners with 2,400+ volunteer attorneys and advocates who are committed and passionate about this work.
As the only statewide organization in California entirely dedicated to youth defense, CYDC is the “go to” organization for attorneys seeking training, practice materials, litigation support, and assistance with youth policy development. If you are interested in these resources, consider becoming a member.
We’d like to extend an invitation to join our amazing team of volunteers. Email info@cayouthdefenders.org today to learn more about becoming a volunteer.
