Who We Are

AFC Partners

Advocates for Children of New York (AFC) partners with like-minded organizations, programs, and social service providers to ensure NYC youth and families have a strong network of support to help them reach their goals.

Robin Hood Project:

Since 2004, AFC has partnered with agencies supported by Robin Hood to provide legal advocacy and in-depth case assistance to at-risk families on education-related matters.  In addition, our Robin Hood Project staff also conducts trainings and workshops to build the capacity of our partner agencies to identify and address issues on their own.
