Episode 64: Patrick Keenan-Devlin-The Moran Center for Youth Advocacy

This week, on Inside the Skev, we sit down with Patrick Keenan-Devlin. Keenan-Devlin is the Executive Director and Juvenile Justice Attorney for the Moran Center for Youth Advocacy in Evanston. In this episode we talk about the work they do, restorative justice and the effects of Covid-19 on the Center and justice work in general.

Founded in 1976, the James B. Moran Center for Youth Advocacy 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 Evanston community. Their goal is to provide Evanston youth and their families with the tools to make positive life choices, the support to successfully emerge from a challenging legal situation, and the ability to thrive as productive community members. To that end, our programmatic approach focuses on legal representation, social work services, youth advocacy, and restorative justice services.
