The I Am Here: Vital Document Legal Hotline for Youth is a free, dedicated legal hotline for youth experiencing homelessness to help them obtain essential identification and vital documents, such as birth certificates and Social Security cards. It's staffed by pro bono lawyers from Baker McKenzie, who provide free state-specific information every Wednesday on obtaining vital documents. While it is primarily for youth experiencing homelessness and those supporting them, anyone is welcome to call or text!

We have updated our communications toolkit with new flyers + graphics to get the word out! Learn More 👉 https://nn4youth.org/programs/vital-document-legal-hotline-for-youth/
