Teenagers often face challenges that may have legal remedies.However, teens rarely take legal action and only 1/5 rely on formal systems in place that could help them, such as school grievance procedures. Many teens do nothing. Often times, teenagers and the adults around them are unaware of the Rights and protections available. Sometimes though, even when they know their Rights, they are unsure what to do. Well-intentioned law-makers establish policies that can impact teens’ lives in unexpected ways.The Youth Rights Agency of Western New York, Inc. (YRA WNY) is here to help by educating people about youth rights and advocating for youth in various settings.
