The vision of the Center for Restorative Change is that all communities will be equitable and promote well-being, self-determination, and individual and collective power.

We believe Baltimore and Maryland will become socially and economically more robust through sustained partnerships that foster civic-minded leadership and innovative community-engaged education, service, and research.
