At CLC-NH, we believe that protecting and advancing children’s rights promotes better outcomes for at-risk children and youth—and that emphasizing children’s needs and voices in child welfare processes leads to better-informed decisions and more responsive systems.
That’s why we’re pleased to share Know Your Rights in Foster Care, a new guide designed to help children understand their rights and advocate for themselves while they are living in out-of-home placement.
The digital KYR guide is available here: Know Your Rights in Foster Care. If you’re a nonprofit working with foster children and would like printed, bound copies of the guide to share with youth, please email admin@clc-nh.org.
Know Your Rights in Foster Care was made possible by a grant from the New Hampshire Bar Foundation’s Justice Grants Program.
