Lawndale Christian Legal Center

In this episode we interview Cliff Nellis, Executive Director at Lawndale Christian Legal Center (LCLC). LCLC's vision is to raise up justly treated youth who are embraced by their family and community, restored from trauma, empowered to lead, and free from the criminal justice system.

LCLC accomplishes this by providing holistic community-based legal services grounded in restorative justice to youth 18-24 from North Lawndale involved in the juvenile or adult criminal justice system. LCLC offers integrated legal and social services to youth while their case is pending in court, and continues to provide these services after their case is over while they are on probation, supervision, or parole. LCLC team consists of attorneys, case managers, outreach workers, and community partners providing wrap-around support that include housing, workforce development, mentoring, mental health counseling, and after-school activities.
