An evening that highlights the work of the LSC, Joining in Justice brings together supporters to hear from clients, learn more, connect with friends and allies, and celebrate the outcomes possible when we collaborate in service of equitable justice for all young people.
Your support directly funds our Legal Services Center's lifesaving services at a time when they are more critical than ever.

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 well-being and long-term success.
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 is therefore 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.

All are welcome as they are, to be themselves, address challenges, and access services when and how they need them. With our roots in the heart of New York City and a presence across the boroughs, The Door offers comprehensive programs and services, including mental health counseling, health and nutrition assistance, legal services, housing support, arts, education, and career guidance. At The Door, everything is free, and everyone is welcome.
