James B. Moran Center for Youth Advocacy

The James B. Moran Center for Youth Advocacy (“Moran Center") provides Evanston youth and their families with integrated legal, mental health, and restorative justice services to improve their quality of life at home, at school, and within the community for more than 42 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.
