The Shriver Center’s Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation (TRHT) Center, one of 10 original centers across the U.S founded in 2018 through initial funding from The American Association of Colleges and Universities (AAC&U), envisions a world where these intersectional systems and stories of exclusion and inequity are transformed into just and vibrant settings of equity and belonging. Housed at University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC), the “Truth” in TRHT extends education activities and resources to increase deeper understanding of these stories of social and structural injustice. The “Racial Healing” in TRHT uses intentional healing circles facilitated by trained leaders to share stories across our diverse human experiences that build intercultural and interracial empathy and understanding and build a shared sense of restored humanity. The “Transformation” in TRHT builds upon these activities to lead deeper cultural change in the narratives, relationships, and policies framing our social settings and structures. This project is a partnership between UMBC and Transform Mid-Atlantic (TMA, www.transformmidatlantic.org)

Member Duties : The TMA AmeriCorps VISTA will train facilitators, develop a resource library, maintain the website/social media presence and launch communities of practice into a self-sustaining network extending TRHT’s impact across campuses, partner organizations, and communities. The TMA AmeriCorps VISTA will draw upon the existing network of service providers, partners, and alumni to bolster civic engagement and social connectedness. The VISTA will be able to access many campus and community partners with the goal of deepening partnerships through relationship building.
