About Our Legal Services Center

About The Door's Legal Services Center

For vulnerable youth in New York City, access to a free attorney can be the key to safety and survival. At The Door, the Legal Services Center (LSC) includes a remarkable team of lawyers, social workers, paralegals, administrators, and pro bono partners. Together, these dedicated professionals provide life-changing legal and supportive services that ensure young people have the resources they need to overcome barriers that impact their stability, safety, and long-term success. Last year, the LSC served over 3,000 young people, with a focus on representation in immigration proceedings. 

Established in 1992 to provide youth with legal representation and guidance in all civil legal matters, the Center is fully integrated within The Door, and therefore is unique in that it remains one of the few, if not the only, providers of civil legal services for youth within a holistic youth development agency.

About The Door

The Door was established in 1972 with the vision of creating an innovative youth development model to address the complex needs of young New Yorkers. Today, we serve up to 11,000 youth annually across our four New York City locations: our lower Manhattan and South Bronx youth centers and two supportive housing sites on the Lower East Side. The Door’s success lies in our commitment to meeting young people where they are and providing them with the comprehensive and integrated services they need to reach their potential. At The Door, youth can access health care and education, mental health counseling and crisis intervention, legal assistance, high school equivalency and college preparation services, career development, housing support, arts, sports and recreational activities, and nutritious meals—all for free and in a diverse, caring, and supportive environment. 

Broome Street Academy (BSA), our tuition-free charter high school, pairs rigorous academics with comprehensive wrap-around social supports so students can reach their highest post-secondary aspirations..
