Child and Youth Legal Centre

The Child and Youth Legal Centre provides free and confidential legal help for young people who are experiencing problems related to family law, child protection, human rights, and many other legal issues. The centre aims to make sure that the rights, interests, and points of view of children and youth are heard and respected. Services include:

  • legal advice,
  • legal representation (a lawyer to take your case), and
  • referrals to other resources.

The centre helps young people up to 19 years old, but if a legal problem started before they turned 19, the centre may still be able to help.

The Child and Youth Legal Centre is run by the Society for Children and Youth of BC.
