FCF is a statewide legal advocacy organization that fights for children's rights. Our work emphasizes children in foster care and young adults who were formerly in care. We often get requests from former foster you who need assistance with adult legal needs. We also get requests for assistance in locating attorneys who are willing to represent children in their dependency cases or other proceedings. We encourage attorneys to volunteer pro bono services on FLORIDA for Children and Families, at www.F4CF.org. As an organization, we have research and other projects that we can use pro bono assistance with that do not involve litigation. We do not assist individuals with family law cases.
