Pledge to make a difference, together.
Based in Chicago’s Woodlawn community, The Darren B. Easterling Center for Restorative Practices (the Center), is a trauma recovery center, founded on the belief that no one's legacy should ever be defined by their worst mistake. Our mission is to eradicate the individual behaviors we believe to be at the core of gun-violence by offering trauma-centered recovery services to women, children and formerly incarcerated men ages 16-25, who have experienced the effects of violent crime as either a victim or an offender.
