CRC members have access to:
  • Social support and fellowship with other students in recovery.
  • Weekly meetings in an alcohol-free and drug-free environment to talk with peers. Open to all recovery programs.
  • Leadership opportunities in Nebraska's collegiate recovery community.
  • Referrals to specialized services, including individual counseling; well-being coaching; tutoring; and financial aid.

Donate to help the Recovery Community

The University of Nebraska Campus Recovery Community (CRC) relies entirely on the generosity of private donors like you. Every contribution directly supports our vital prevention programs, weekly meeting activities, recovery services, and wellness initiatives designed to empower students on their path to recovery.

Your support helps students like these:
“CRC led me by the hand in my recovery. I was too afraid to do it alone.”
“CRC showed me where to find quality meetings and friends. I couldn’t stay sober without the fellowship. This fellowship is strong.”

The community vastly improved my feelings towards recovery - changing my focus towards the benefits for myself for the first time ever. This changed every aspect of my life including relationships, work ethic, and mental health. I found forever friends that support me through the up and downs. This program changed my life and, honestly, probably saved it.
