Justice for Children and Youth (JFCY) is a charity and a legal aid clinic that helps young people who have serious legal and personal issues and no ability to pay a lawyer. Some are homeless or they need to leave home due to abuse. Others have mental and/or physical health problems, or are not getting educated, or are alone and facing criminal charges. But in most cases, our clients have many complex problems all at once; they’ve slipped through the cracks and have nowhere to turn but to JFCY. For more than 40 years, we’ve been operating in Ontario, and we are Canada’s preeminent experts in children’s law, providing direct representation, law reform advocacy, public education and more.
