Company Profile
Children's Rights
Company Overview
Children's Rights is a national advocacy organization working to protect and advance the rights of children impacted by government systems. Using civil rights impact litigation, policy expertise, and public education, we operate in over 20 states and at the federal level to drive systemic change and improve outcomes for thousands of children and families.
Every day, children and families are harmed by America's child welfare, juvenile justice, education, immigration, and healthcare systems. These systems disproportionately impact historically marginalized youth, including children of color, LGBTQ+ youth, and those with mental health needs. Through strategic advocacy and legal action, Children's Rights holds governments accountable and works to disrupt and prevent these ongoing harms, creating lasting change for children and their families.
Company History
Children’s Rights began as a project of the New York Civil Liberties Union and, later, the American Civil Liberties Union, and in 1995 became an independent nonprofit organization. We have won landmark legal victories in Connecticut, Georgia, Michigan, Mississippi, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Washington, DC and Wisconsin and engaged in advocacy efforts that are changing the way child welfare is practiced in the United States. Children’s Rights is proving that failing child welfare systems not only can be fixed, but can be made to run well.
Benefits
Children's Rights offers an excellent benefits package, including generous PTO, company-paid life insurance, medical, dental, flex spending accounts, paid parental leave and retirement plan. In addition, we offer participation in the TransitChek program as well as voluntary life, critical illness and hospitalization benefits.
