Narrative

The EdLaw Project has provided education advocacy for Massachusetts' highest-risk youth. Since January 2000, EdLaw Project lawyers have directly advocated for the educational rights of over 1,800 low-income youth in Massachusetts. Prevention and intervention are the best ways to keep children out of the School-to-Prison Pipeline. Our interventions help kids, improve public safety, and save taxpayers millions of dollars.

The Edlaw Project is an initiative between the Youth Advocacy Foundation and the Committee for Public Counsel Services, Children & Family Law and Youth Advocacy Divisions.

Our team offers direct advocacy for students in many tough situations including:

• school exclusion

• having trouble reintegrating after detention or jail time

• receiving inadequate education while in state custody

• struggling with undetected and underserved special needs
