CENTER FOR RESTORATIVE CHANGE (CRC)

Empowering Community and Equity

The Center for Restorative Change (CRC), based at the University of Maryland School of Social Work, works toward a vision where all communities are equitable and promote self-determination and collective power.

As West Baltimore families face ongoing challenges, the CRC provides essential, trauma-responsive services while simultaneously driving system-level change. Your support ensures the CRC can continue to:

· Offer crucial direct aid, including food and housing support, crisis intervention, and parenting assistance.

· Foster civic-minded leadership through programs like financial literacy and community leadership training.

· Empower families to advocate for a more equitable future.

What is Spark SSW?

Spark SSW is the University of Maryland School of Social Work’s crowdfunding initiative to support students, programs, and community impact. Crowdfunding gathers gifts of all amounts from many people to quickly fuel urgent needs and meaningful projects. This approach makes giving more accessible to our community to rally collective support for the School’s mission and priorities.
