The Homeless Youth Handbook – Maine is the result of a collaboration between Pine Tree Legal, Avangrid, and Baker McKenzie. We are deeply grateful to the many volunteers whose time, dedication, and expertise made this resource possible.

We also extend our sincere thanks to the legal experts throughout Maine who played an essential role in developing and reviewing the Handbook's content. Attorneys and advocates from Pine Tree Legal Assistance (PTLA), Kids Legal, a project of PTLA, and Immigrant Legal Advocacy Project (ILAP) generously shared their knowledge and experience to help ensure that the information in this Handbook is accurate, practical, and responsive to the needs of young people in Maine. Their ongoing work providing vital legal services to youth and families across the state helps make resources like this possible.

Together, we believe in the power of collaboration to expand access to information, strengthen communities, and support young people as they navigate challenges and pursue their goals. This Handbook reflects what can be achieved when organizations and individuals come together with a shared commitment to empowering youth and promoting access to justice.
