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 administered 10,000 services to 1,073 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 established 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 across our four New York City locations, including our lower Manhattan and South Bronx youth centers and two supportive housing sites on the Lower East Side. By joining The Door, young people can access health care and education, mental health counseling, legal assistance, high school equivalency and college preparation services, career development, housing supports, arts, sports and recreational activities, and nutritious meals. Broome Street Academy, our tuition-free charter high school, offers rigorous academics paired with comprehensive wrap-around social supports so students can reach their highest post-secondary aspirations.
