Youth Bill of Rights

The District of Columbia Bill of Rights for Children and Youth in Foster Care, or “Youth Bill of Rights (YBOR)," explains your rights while you are in foster care in the District of Columbia. The District has laws that protect your rights as a young person in foster care. One of these laws is that the DC Child and Family Services Agency (CFSA) must make sure you get a copy of your rights. If you lose this copy and want another one, ask your social worker or guardian ad litem (GAL).

Every child and youth in District care gets a copy. Social workers give the document to all youth in care ages 14 and older and the Guardian ad Litem of younger children.
