Descriptiontext

Children's Law Center (legal name: Children's Law Center, Inc., also doing business as Northern Kentucky Children's Law Center, Inc.) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit legal advocacy organization founded in 1989 and headquartered in Covington, Kentucky, with a secondary office in Lexington, Kentucky. The organization serves children and youth across Kentucky and Ohio, delivering free legal advocacy, community education, policy reform, and impact litigation through four core service pillars: Individual Advocacy, Training and Education, Public Policy Work, and Impact Litigation. Specialized programming spans eight additional areas, including the Crime Victim Project, Homeless and Education Law Program (operating under the McKinney-Vento Act), Youth in Transition, Stop Solitary for Ohio Youth, Youth in Adult Court Storytelling Project, and the Blog Talk Radio 'Spotlight on Youth' platform.

The organization employs 11-50 staff and operates without proprietary technology products; its competitive advantage is built on institutional relationships with courts, schools, child welfare agencies, and community organizations across a 35-year operating history. A strategic partnership with Northern Kentucky University's Chase College of Law operates the NKU Chase Children's Law Center Clinic, training future attorneys while expanding service capacity.

Revenue is generated entirely through donations and charitable contributions—including bequests, IRA gifts, stock donations, donor-advised funds, beneficiary designations, community events (Boots, Bourbon, and Biscuits), and the Kroger Community Rewards Program—supplemented by grants. A $250,000 grant from the Kentucky Opioid Abatement Advisory Commission was received in October 2023. Leadership is headed by Executive Director Sasha Naiman (joined October 2021, formerly Deputy Director at Ohio Justice & Policy Center) with Sydney Pepper Ballachino serving as Director of Advancement. The organization is governed by a Board of Directors, maintains Candid/GuideStar transparency credentials, and publishes annual impact reports, with the 2025 Impact Report most recently issued.
