CYDC’s mission would be impossible without the 2400 volunteers dedicated to bringing excellent legal representation to all young people in California.
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. Learn how to support CYDC’s mission here.
