East Bay Community Law Center Youth Justice

Providing free legal advice and representation to youth with an emphasis on youth who are Black, Indigenous, or people of color.

Providing free legal advice and representation to youth with an emphasis on youth who are Black, Indigenous, or people of color.

The Education Defense and Justice for Youth program works to keep youth – particularly youth who are Black, Indigenous, or people of color – in school and out of the legal system. Their mission is to disrupt the school-to-prison pipeline by challenging the marginalization and criminalization of youth in their schools and communities.

They will determine your eligibility for services once you’ve completed an intake assessment. In general, their services are available to youth in grades K-12 who live in or attend school in Alameda County.

East Bay Community Law Center also offers Social Work services. Their social workers provide trauma-informed case management, crisis intervention, and system navigation to clients as they work towards both their legal and non-legal goals. More information here.
