About

Collaborators

The Quality Improvement Center on Engaging Youth in Finding Permanency (QIC-EY) is collaborating with a team of three agencies for the Court Training Development and National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges (NCJFCJ) to support work between the pilot sites and each site’s court stakeholders:

I. Court Training Development Team

The three organizations described below will be working together to support the QIC-EY in developing engaging content for an online training module on youth engagement for legal professionals. These organizations have decades of experience working with court stakeholders and are national leaders in providing high-quality training and technical assistance. In addition, they have built programs co-designed by experts with lived experience who know firsthand the importance of youth-partnered work.

The ABA Center on Children and the Law promotes access to justice for children and families. The Center is a grant-funded entity within the larger American Bar Association. Its team of 20 attorneys and core staff manage a variety of county, state and national projects unified by two complementary goals: to improve legal representation and to improve the legal systems that impact children and families’ lives. The Center achieves these goals through an integrated set of approaches that emphasize collaboration and coalition building.

It works in all of these areas in partnership with its National Advisory Council for Children’s Legal Representation (youth board).
