The James B. Moran Center for Youth Advocacy (“Moran Center") provides low-income Evanston youth and their families with integrated legal and social work services to improve their quality of life at home, at school, and within the community for more than 40 years. Our goal is to provide Evanston youth and their families with the support to successfully emerge from a challenging legal situation, the tools to refrain from self-destructive behavior, and the ability to thrive in the local community. To that end, our programmatic approach focuses on direct advocacy, representation, and client and community restoration.
