Young Center for Immigrant Children's Rights - Phoenix

The Young Center for Immigrant Children’s Rights is a national organization that began in 2004 to directly support and advocate for the best interests of unaccompanied immigrant children who are currently in federal custody. These are children who came to the U.S. alone or were separated from family. As an organization, we consider a child’s expressed wishes, safety, and rights to family integrity, liberty, development, and to maintain their own identity as the key factors in their best interests. Over the past nearly twenty years, our team of attorneys, social workers, advocates, and volunteers has been working tirelessly to support immigrant children who either came to the United States alone or were separated from their families and are now navigating our country’s complex immigration system on their own. We have 8 offices across the country, including in Arizona, California, Texas, Illinois, New York, and Washington D.C.
