  • About Us

    The Moran Center for Youth Advocacy’s mission is to provide free, integrated legal and social work services to low-income Evanston youth and their families to improve their quality of life at home, at school, and within the community. We believe that all children deserve justice in the courtroom, access to the classroom, and support in the community to thrive. Through legal representation, advocacy, trauma-informed therapy, and community outreach, we zealously work to dismantle the school-to-prison pipeline which disproportionately drives youth who are poor, of color or with disabilities out of school and into broken institutions.
