Many decisions are made each session about young people. We hope TeamChild’s work in the policy realm will align with our mission & values, to center youth in this process.
The young people we provide legal representation for are among the most vulnerable in our state. And they still have the potential to thrive and to develop their leadership when we create the space for that to happen.
For TeamChild attorneys, this new law has a positive impact on the options we can provide to clients when they seek legal assistance to stabilize their living situation.
TeamChild Board and Staff are excited to announce that we have selected Marcos Martinez as our new Executive Director!
TeamChild staff join with others in our community in honoring the life of Justice Sun, who died in December. Justice was a friend of TeamChild and a fierce advocate, locally in Spokane and around the state.
TeamChild’s legal assistants and attorneys are busy representing hundreds of youth across the state as we charge into 2022 with big challenges. We continue to center youth and stand with them to find legal pathways to help them meet their goals in the community.
TeamChild supported the end to Parent Pay because we know from our clients and their families, that one important way to support a young person returning home from a time of incarceration is to make sure their family is as strong as they can be economically.
As a nonprofit civil legal aid organization serving youth across Washington State, TeamChild continues to uphold the rights of young people, secure the support they need, and transform punitive systems into more effective methods of addressing root causes and providing meaningful and appropriate support, opportunities, and healing to youth across Washington State.
I’m thankful for all of our staff, board, supporters, and donors who give life to TeamChild’s mission and are passionately leading our work into a new chapter. I can’t wait to see what the future holds!
