We sincerely thank these outstanding volunteers for their service and commitment to young people. Each honoree has collaborated with an LSC social worker and young client to secure legal guardianship, educational rights, or immigration relief.

Raise a glass with us as we celebrate our resilient youth, our supporters, and outstanding pro bono volunteers who devote time and resources to achieve legal outcomes that stabilize children’s lives and help them realize their dreams.

Join us on Thursday, June 4, 2026 from 5:30-7:30 PM at Arcana, located at 2512 Mission Street in San Francisco.

The Difference Legal Services for Children Makes

In honor of LSC’s 50th anniversary in 2025, talented volunteers Puppet Mills (member of LSC’s Board of Directors) and Cassandra Dreher, in collaboration with some of LSC’s former clients and current staff, created this video to convey the difference LSC’s work makes in the lives of our young clients. We are honored to have been a part of each of our clients’ healing journeys and paths to stable and empowered futures.
