About Advocates for Children of New York, Inc.

Advocates for Children of New York, Inc. is a nonprofit education advocacy organization focused on New York City students who face barriers to academic success, particularly students from low-income backgrounds. Founded in 1971, it provides free individual guidance and legal representation to families, including representation at school-related hearings and appeals. It also offers know-your-rights trainings for parents, educators and other professionals, and its helpline gives individualized guidance on education issues.

Beyond casework, the organization pursues policy advocacy aimed at systemic reform of the public school system and conducts impact litigation, including class action lawsuits. Its work targets students at heightened risk of school-based discrimination, including those affected by disability, poverty, homelessness, language barriers, or foster care or juvenile justice involvement.
