For vulnerable youth in New York City, access to a free attorney is the key to a better life. At The Door, the Legal Services Center (LSC) includes a remarkable team of lawyers, social workers, paralegals, administrators, and pro-bono partners. Together, these dedicated professionals provide life-changing legal and supportive services that ensure young people have the resources they need to overcome barriers that impact their stability, safety, and long-term success. Last year, the LSC served 2,951 young people. Established in 1992 to provide youth with legal representation and guidance in all civil legal matters, the Center is fully integrated within The Door, and therefore is unique in that it remains one of the few, if not the only, providers of civil legal services for youth within a holistic youth development agency.
The Door was founded in 1972 with the vision of creating an innovative youth development model to address the complex needs of young New Yorkers. Today, we serve up to 11,000 youth annually. The Door’s success lies in our commitment to meeting young people where they are and providing them with the comprehensive and integrated services they need to reach their potential. At The Door, in addition to legal services, youth can access everything from health care and education to mental health counseling and crisis intervention, high school equivalency and college preparation services, career development, housing support, arts, sports and recreational activities, and nutritious meals – all for free and in a diverse and caring environment.
