Home About Us YAF Initiatives News and Advocacy Events Resources Support Us Contact Us More The movement of the EdLaw attorneys into CPCS has allowed YAF to focus on the next generation of schooltoprison pipeline disruption initiatives including providing socialservice support for our education clients assisting our clients facing emergency needs that are interfering with their ability to succeed in school funding legal and technology tools aswell as paralegal and intake support for the EdLaw attorneys and attacking the racial class and ethnic disparities we see in education family regulation policing and the judicial andyouth detention systems. Children and youth who are given a meaningful opportunity to succeed in school are overwhelmingly likely to go to college andor into the work force. Equitable education for all leads to a substantial reduction in the number of people imprisoned in our state and nation and to pathways out of poverty for families and communities of color. As we fight for education equity for the most vulnerable children in the state your continued support iscritical.
