Program Areas
Safety & Stability at Home
We secure safe and stable homes for young people who cannot live with their parents by representing them in the guardianship process to get a loving adult to care for them and by advocating for the rights and needs of young people in the San Francisco foster care system.
Freedom From Deportation
LSC defends the rights of undocumented immigrant children and young people, including youth under age 18 who entered the U.S. alone and are in immigration detention without their families as well as SF Bay Area young people at risk of deportation.
Access to Education
LSC protects young people’s access to education by advocating for their rights when they are facing potential expulsion or suspension from school, keeping them on the path to graduation and preserving their place in their peer communities.

LSC’s 2026 Annual Event, Champions for Children
On June 4, 2026, LSC was delighted to celebrate another year in community with our clients, our pro bono attorney volunteers, and the many supporters who make our work with young people possible.
Each year at our annual event, we have the pleasure of reflecting on the past year, the successes of our clients who have seen their way through great challenges to achieve their goals, the invaluable contributions of pro bono attorneys who generously volunteer their time and skills with LSC to help young people in need of legal representation, and exceptional up-and-coming child advocates who have completed internships at LSC and are launching their law careers.
It was an honor to share this joyous evening together. Thank you so much to all of you who were able to join us!
