Summary/Abstract: This paper tries to estimate the effectiveness of social institutions/organizations which are responsible to help the young people in need and to respect their rights. According to the Romanian law, the young people had the same needs and rights. The need and the right to maintain the connection between young people and their families/relatives or with another person for whom young people feel affection, for example. Social services have varies limits at this time. Young people who are placed in foster family care or in residential care can benefit of those types of protection until they become 26 years old, if they are full-time students. There are some rights for the young people such as: the right to get a house, the right to receive a scholarship or other facilities to stimulate the young people employment. There are many institutions that have the responsibility to integrate the young people in the society, such as: Child’s Protection Department, Nongovernmental Organizations, Churches or another institutions. The collaboration between these institutions should be a support for young people, not an impediment in satisfying their needs. Child Protection system integrates the young people in society in two different ways: it integrate them in their families or in the group of work. The children can be adopted by Romanian people. Some young people in need can’t benefit by state welfare because they have no rights according to the law. The legislation and the resources available to assist young people in need have a lot of deficits. There are few jobs for the young people in need and it is difficult for them to get a house. The young people’s families or other institutions can’t support them to be integrated into the society and the young people assistance is insufficient for their needs.
