Youth Advocacy Foundation

Empowering Massachusetts Youth

The Youth Advocacy Foundation (YAF) was established in 2001 to protect and defend the rights of Massachusetts' most vulnerable youth. With a focus on the intersection of juvenile justice and education, YAF works tirelessly to keep children in school and out of prison. Through initiatives like the EdLaw Project, the foundation provides essential education advocacy for court-involved youth.

Making a Lasting Impact

Since its inception, the EdLaw Project has directly advocated for the educational rights of over 1,800 youth, helping them avoid expulsion and access necessary special education services.
