TEAMCHILD

TeamChild is a nationally recognized nonprofit serving vulnerable youth across Washington State.

TeamChild is best known for its legal services program reaching children in crisis in King, Pierce,

Spokane, and Yakima counties. Our clients are generally 12-24 years old and many are involved in the

juvenile justice and child welfare systems. Our legal services program is designed to keep young people

out of juvenile court by reconnecting them to education, healthcare, and housing supports. We work

closely with public defenders, juvenile court staff, and the community to positively impact the young

person’s life while helping the youth to accomplish their goals and reduce further contact with the

courts. The mission of TeamChild is to uphold the rights of youth involved, or at risk of involvement, in

the juvenile justice system to help them secure the education, healthcare, housing, and other support

they need to achieve positive outcomes in their lives. In our work, we aim to move systems away from

exclusion, arrest, and incarceration towards more effective strategies that have the best chance of

promoting the well-being and success of our most vulnerable children.
