The Center for Youth Development through Law provides transformative programs to youth from under-resourced East Bay communities, in cooperation with UC Berkeley School of Law.
By investing in our students' energy, talents, and passion for making a difference, we prepare them for higher education, fulfilling careers, community engagement and leadership.
