Founded in 1977, the National Association of Counsel for Children (NACC) is a nonprofit membership and advocacy organization dedicated to advancing the rights, well-being, and opportunities of children and families impacted by the child welfare system through access to high-quality legal representation. Our vision: Every child and family involved with the court system is well-represented by a lawyer who works to ensure that every child is raised by a nurturing family and has positive life opportunities.

NACC believes all children involved in child welfare proceedings need lawyers who are well-trained to achieve the best possible outcomes– outcomes where children are raised on a path toward success in loving and supportive families.  We also believe the child welfare court system works best when all parties – children, parents, and social service agencies – are represented by high-quality, well-trained lawyers.

NACC provides programs and resources that improve the quality of legal representation for children, parents and agencies; we support a community of hard-working and dedicated professionals and help attract and retain diverse talent in the children’s legal advocacy profession; and we advocate for policies that advance rights, including the right to counsel for children and parents.
