Join us for a free webinar on navigating education while incarcerated. We will discuss the rights of incarcerated students with IEPs, how to re-enroll a student once they are released from placement, and much more.
Advocates for Children of New York has a singular vision: an equitable and inclusive school system where all students receive the education they need to maximize their potential as adults.
We fight for families
For more than 50 years, we have fought beside NYC families from under-resourced communities through a unique combination of services, all focused on protecting education rights and eliminating barriers to success so all students can thrive.
"Our lives have been transformed for the better in these past two years that we have been part of the AFC family. I cannot believe how much Emma has progressed academically, emotionally, and in her social skills because AFC helped us to place her in a school where she belongs."
Working in tandem, AFC’s attorney and Geoff’s court-appointed attorney convinced the Court not to give Geoff jail time, but to enroll him in the residential program and give him the chance to have a future and to pursue his dreams.
"Here is someone who did not achieve any academic success until he received the appropriate services. Adrian is very ambitious and he thrives on keeping busy. He is a perfect example of what children can achieve with proper support."
