Legal Services for Children
Advancing the rights of youth since 1975
Legal Services for Children (LSC) was founded in 1975 as one of the first non-profit law firms in the country to provide free legal representation and social work services to children and youth. LSC's mission is to ensure that all children and youth in San Francisco Bay Area have an opportunity to be raised in a safe environment with equal access to a meaningful education and the services and supports they need to become healthy and productive young adults. LSC pioneered a unique interdisciplinary approach to legal services, employing teams of attorneys and social workers to comprehensively meet the needs of our clients. We represent children and youth in cases that include legal guardianship, dependency, school discipline, immigration, emancipation, and restraining order proceedings.

- To better serve our stock and crypto donors, we host giving pages (like this one) so they can donate securities and crypto to other nonprofits from their DonateStock account.
- As this specific nonprofit has not yet registered with us, the donation will be processed and paid by Donatestock Charitable, Inc, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
- Once the gift is initiated, we will contact the nonprofit beneficiary to inform them of the gift and arrange payment.
- After the gift is received, we will provide a tax receipt to the donor and send the proceeds, gift details and donor information to the nonprofit beneficiary.
- Payments are normally sent via ACH within 2 weeks of receiving the shares or crypto. If we cannot reach the nonprofit beneficiary within 30 days, we will remit payment by check.
