Los Angeles, CA — FocalPoint is pleased to announce a donation to the Alliance for Children’s Rights, a charitable organization dedicated to providing stability for children in foster care and those at risk of entering foster care, by helping them to obtain access to mental and medical healthcare, educational services, benefits, housing, and more.
For those who cannot return to their biological parents, the Alliance provides permanency through adoption and legal guardianship. For young adults who “age out” of foster care without a stable connection to a supportive adult, its programs and advocacy services specifically for young adults guide them in their journey to independence.
The Alliance protects the rights of impoverished, abused, and neglected young people. By providing free legal services, advocacy, and programs that create pathways to jobs and education, the Alliance levels the playing field for children who experience foster care and works to promote the stability and support that children need to thrive.
Since 1992, the organization has served more than 150,000 children. The Alliance for Children’s Rights’ efforts are focused in three main areas: free legal services and advocacy for children who have been removed from home or placed in foster care; training and education for those who work with or care for these children; and system-wide reform to change policies to improve children’s lives.
We are grateful for the opportunity to work with such a worthy organization in support of foster children and their care givers in our local communities.
