Baltimore Recovery Corps
About
The Baltimore Recovery Corps (BRC) was launched in spring 2011, as part of Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake’s StepUp Baltimore volunteer initiative. The Baltimore Recovery Corps (BRC) is a peer-based coaching and advocacy recovery support service that is non-clinical and designed to engage persons seeking access to treatment, those preparing to leave treatment and reestablish life in the community, and recent program graduates seeking to access recovery support services. Penn North is the home for the BRC, offering an array of Peer trainings that provide individuals in recovery with opportunities to “give back” through service in the growing Peer Recovery Support profession.
