  ABOUT YOUNG CENTER:
  <br/>
  <br/>
 </strong>
 The Young Center for Immigrant Children's Rights is a national organization dedicated to protecting and advancing the rights and best interests&mdash;safety and well-being&mdash;of immigrant children in the United States. The Young Center&rsquo;s Child Advocate Program (CAP) serves as the federally appointed, independent best interests representative for unaccompanied and separated immigrant children in federal custody. Through CAP&rsquo;s state initiative, we also serve and are appointed by the Superior Courts of New Jersey as independent Child Advocates to children released from federal custody into the New Jersey community. Child Advocates meet with children and learn their stories in order to identify and advocate for their best interests through an interdisciplinary, trauma-informed, and culturally sensitive lens. The Technical Assistance Program offers intersectional expertise and critical resources to advocates and service providers working with immigrant children involved in child welfare and other state court systems. The Litigation Program, the Young Center&rsquo;s newest program, engages in impact litigation to advance policies that promote the safety, well-being, and best interests of immigrant children; to challenge policies and actions that harm immigrant children; and to ensure that their experiences and perspectives are considered by courts in decisions that affect them. The Young Center&rsquo;s Policy Program fights for wholesale reform of the immigration system while pursuing immediate changes in policy and practice that center children&rsquo;s rights and best interests in all decisions.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 The Young Center has offices in Houston, San Antonio, and Harlingen, Texas; Chicago, Illinois; New York, New York; Washington, D.C.; Phoenix, Arizona; Los Angeles, California; and Grand Rapids, Michigan. We also serve children through our programs in New Jersey.
