Student Testimonial

“This is the only place on campus where I can truly be myself.” — URC Alum, Class of 2025

Our Mission

The UConn Recovery Community’s mission is to provide a safe and supportive environment that supports the educational needs of students recovering from addictive behaviors, as well as those exploring the possibility of recovery.

To this end, we believe: you’re in recovery when you say you’re in recovery, as you define it.

Our Ask: Off‑Campus, Substance‑Free Activities

Nothing brings on the fun and builds community like the thrill of a go‑kart race, getting strike after strike at the bowling alley, or stretching your artistic skills throwing clay for the first time.

These activities not only bring fun into recovery, they also provide an alternative to the many weekend activities where alcohol, cannabis, drugs, and other substances are likely to be present. Many URC student members cannot, and choose not to, be around substances.

Your gift allows the UConn Recovery Community to continue offering off‑campus, substance‑free activities at no cost to our student members, helping build connection, community, and support in recovery.
