Collegiate Recovery Scholarship Breakfast

The Center for Young Adult Addiction in Recovery at ³ÉÈËÖ±²¥ witnesses the transformation that occurs when individuals in recovery pursue education. This not only reduces societal costs but reignites their hopes and dreams while healing relationships. Like other ³ÉÈËÖ±²¥ graduates, these students in recovery become valued professionals. We invite you to invest in recovery, whether it's through financial support, time, mentorship, or second chances. Our center offers a comprehensive range of services, including prevention, intervention, ongoing clinical support, and recovery support services.

Join us at this year's Collegiate Recovery Scholarship Breakfast to witness the returns on this investment!
