A Champion's Passion

This work could never have been possible without Bob Schwartz, who co-founded Juvenile Law Center in 1975. Bob retired in 2015 after leading the organization to 40 years, and recently passed away in October 2024; it is difficult to overstate his legacy — not just amongst family and friends (of whom he had so many) — but within the field of child advocacy as a whole. 

It has been a healing balm to hear so many of our colleagues and supporters speak about their love for him and how his passion for the work inspired them to support the work of Juvenile Law Center. It can feel especially tough to move forward in the face of loss, but Bob always reminded us to move “onward” toward the future. We invite you to invest in our future.
