We challenge discriminatory discipline, fight to strengthen education services, and provide cutting-edge research so that students' voices and experiences guide the decisions that shape their learning. 3489633 295084 Children's Health & Wellbeing: National Center for Youth Law's ("NCYL's") health & wellbeing work improves the lives of children and youth across issue areas. Led by youth with lived experience, our Reproductive Health Equity Project for Foster Youth (RHEP) tears down policy barriers that keep young people from accessing sexual and reproductive health care services. Our advocacy to help children and youth flourish includes strengthening approaches to mental health. NCYL also works to transform the child welfare system to better support youth and families. With respect to combating commercial sexual exploitation of children and youth, our collaborative work shifts the response from criminalization to healing and centering the voices of survivors in policy discussions. A key part of NCYL's work in this area is also training providers, advocates, and communities on laws that protect adolescents' confidentiality, ensuring that every youth can seek help for their physical and mental well-being without fear or stigma. 3191771 931250 Youth Justice & Equity: Together with youth, their families, community leaders, and system officials, NCYL is working to create a justice system that fosters growth rather than punishment. We spearhead campaigns to erase burdensome juvenile fines and fees in states across the country, and through coalition building, communication strategies, training and technical assistance, work to build a justice landscape where all young people can heal and thrive. 2067931 220310 Legal Strategies: NCYL defends the rights of children across the country, and our lawsuits focus on bringing about systemic change in each of our core issue areas. At a time when democratic institutions and civil rights protections are under increasing strain, NCYL's legal work helps hold public systems accountable to the children and families they are meant to serve. 1175052 Children's Human Rights & Dignity: NCYL believes that no circumstance strips a child of their inherent dignity, whether that circumstance is migration, family crisis, or poverty. As co-counsel in Flores, NCYL represents children in federal immigration custody, advocating for humane conditions and reuniting children with their families in accordance with the law. We also lead efforts to dismantle practices that harm children in the foster system, fight to ensure that youth have access to health care and education, and promote youth-centered, community-centered, and family-centered policies that preserve families and reduce reliance on the foster system. 39570 Other small programs unrelated to the significant programs currently listed. 3282553 220310 13580004 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 92 0 1 109 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 15 14 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 CA X X X Jason Sutton Senior Controller 5108358098 428 13th Street FL 5 Oakland CA 94612 Sophie Fanelli President 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Denise Forte Vice President 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Mary Bissell Treasurer (end 7/25) 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Mohammad Barkeshli Treasurer (start 7/25) 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Luis Vergara Secretary 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Lex Brainerd Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Preetha Chakrabarti Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 June Dipchand Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mishaela Duran Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Frank Figgers Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jason Okonofua Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Lisa Rieger Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Lori Schechter Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Sandeep Solanki Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mona Tawatao Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Shakti Belway Executive Director 37.50 X X 322842 0 34935 Karla James Dep.
