Wendy Young

Wendy Young is the president of Kids in Need of Defense (KIND), an organization dedicated to providing legal assistance to unaccompanied immigrant children in the United States. She has been a vocal advocate for the rights of vulnerable children, emphasizing the importance of legal representation and due process for minors facing immigration proceedings. Under her leadership, KIND has worked to ensure that children are not left to navigate the complex immigration system without support. Recently, she urged the federal government to maintain legal services for these children after a temporary suspension was reversed, highlighting the critical nature of these protections.
