In Memory

Jim Moran
1918 - 2007
Founder

Students at the non-profit Youth Automotive Training Center in Broward County, Florida have the opportunity to learn a trade, plan for the future and become productive members of the community.

Founded by Jim Moran in 1984, YATC has come a long way from a one-room school to a modern facility with technical and academic classrooms, computers and a state-of-the-art automotive shop.

The school supports a culturally diverse population, welcoming students of any race, gender, nationality or ethnic origin.

Its Board of Directors and Advisory Board are composed of community-minded citizens who encourage and mentor YATC students and graduates on their road to a successful future.

YATC is unique in that its support does not end at graduation. The school continues to provide resources and opportunities to graduates to help them stay on the right track.

This one-of-a-kind school has evolved into a model program for the "how-to's" of training, educating and encouraging young people who are at risk.

With the leadership that was provided by its founder and the continuing support of community members, YATC provides solutions for young people who need a jump start on life and will work for it.
