An Evening Celebrating 50 Years of Advocacy
Legal Services for Children: An Evening Celebrating 50 Years of Youth Advocacy.
2025 Excellence in Pro Bono Honorees
As we mark Legal Services for Children’s 50th Anniversary, we are thrilled to announce our 2025 Excellence in Pro Bono honorees:
We sincerely thank these outstanding volunteers for their service and commitment to young people. Each honoree has partnered with an LSC social worker and young client to secure legal guardianship, educational rights, or immigration relief.
On June 5th, 2025, we raised a glass with our wonderful community as we celebrated our resilient youth, our supporters, and outstanding pro bono volunteers who continue to devote time and resources to achieve legal outcomes that stabilize children’s lives and help them realize their dreams.
The Difference Legal Services for Children Makes
In honor of LSC’s 50th anniversary, 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.
A Wonderful Evening with Our Community!
