The Children’s Law Center is the largest legal services organization in the District of Columbia and the only one that represents children, our most vulnerable population.  CLC represents children and their families in guardian ad litem, custody, adoption, and foster parent cases.  In addition, it partners with Children’s National Medical Center to provide representation to children whose health is adversely affected by other factors in their environment (e.g. substandard housing, lack of special education assistance, etc.).  I serve on the Board of Directors and am also Treasurer for CLC.  What I find challenging about CLC is that there are so many more children in need of help than CLC can assist, even with innovative partnering relationships with law firms to provide pro bono attorneys.  What I find inspirational about CLC is the dedication of the staff to ensure the best possible outcome for the children and families whom CLC does help.  And to see a family turn its life and future around because it has finally gotten the support it needs, well, it doesn’t get much better than that.  To find out more, see www.childrenslawcenter.org.
