Teens

New York teenagers and youth in foster care have specially defined rights to benefits, services and health care. When youth don't know the laws, however, they can be difficult to enforce.

These brochures provide information that helps youth to make educated choices and ensure that their rights are respected.

• Legal Rights of Teens in Foster Care
• Public Benefits for Minors and Emancipated Youth
• Teen Access to Health Care and Family Planning
