On February 26, 2018 from 12-1 p.m. EST the Legal Center for Youth Justice and Education will host a webinar on the intersection of education and the juvenile justice system for LGBTQ+ youth.

Panelists include: Kara Ingelhart, Law Fellow at Lambda Legal; Erica Smith, Adolescent Case Manager for the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia’s Adolescent Initiative Program at the Philadelphia Juvenile Justice Services Center; Kristina Moon, Staff Attorney at Education Law Center-PA; and Asaf Orr, Transgender Youth Project Staff Attorney at the National Center for Lesbian Rights.
