Mission

For over 35 years Advocates for Children of New York (AFC) has worked in partnership with New York City's most impoverished and vulnerable families to secure quality and equal public education services. AFC provides a full range of services: free individual case advocacy, technical assistance, and training for parents, students, and professionals about children's educational entitlements and due process rights in New York City. AFC's efforts are strengthened by ongoing policy analysis focused on the institutionalization of inclusionary, effective, and equitable school practices. By effectively combining legal services, impact litigation, individual case representation, public education, training, organizing, and in-depth research and policy analysis, AFC has been a powerful engine for change on behalf of children in New York.
