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.
After Mishel was abruptly sent back to 6th grade, instead of receiving the academic supports she needed to thrive, AFC intervened and helped her persevere and finish middle school on time.
AFC successfully fought to reverse the charges associated with Steven's unjust suspension. Today, Steven is a successful student at the prestigious Stuyvesant High School.
"I wanted to let you know that Briana is doing so well!! Her reading has improved and the support she is given on a daily basis definitely has improved her confidence. I will forever be so grateful for all your help in finding her the right fit."
On Saturday, November 7th at John Jay College, NYC families of students with IEPs or 504 Plans can meet with nearly 100 providers and organizations and get personalized guidance about life after high school—all in one place.
