Kids Matter administers a volunteer attorney program. Through the program, we recruit and train lawyers to take guardianship cases on behalf of children on a pro bono basis.
Kids Matter also works to match attorneys who are interested in providing legal assistance in other areas of concern to our children and their families. Navigating the child welfare system, accessing support, health care and education are among the most common issues for our families. Kids Matter provides training and technical assistance.
The staff at Kids Matter Inc. works closely with each attorney to match the experience of the attorney with the needs of the client. We also provide technical assistance and advice for the more experienced attorneys at each step of the process.
