The Youth Bill of Rights lays out the legal rights of all young people inside of California’s juvenile justice facilities, including camps, juvenile halls, and any other juvenile facilities.

If you think your rights are being violated or you are experiencing harmful conditions, you, your family or friends can file a complaint by calling 1 (844) 402-1880 or emailing OYCRombuds@chhs.ca.gov.

The resource below is a youth-friendly guide created by the CA Office of Youth and Community Restoartion. Click through or download the pdf to learn more about the Youth Bill of Rights.
