Our Mission

The Center for Social Concern emphasizes the value of service with others, rather than the commonly accepted concept of service to others. The volunteer and client enter into an educational process where both benefit from the interaction and reciprocal learning is the common ground for all of our initiatives. Our programs and efforts are striving to create a "better community" in and around the Johns Hopkins campus.

 

Our Facility

The Center for Social Concern is located on the second floor of Levering Hall. Our location is unique in that the main area of our office space contains an incredible floor-to-ceiling mural done by Robert R. Hieronimus, Ph.D. "The Apocalypse" was commissioned in 1968 by Dr. Chester Wickwire, then-Chaplain of the Johns Hopkins University. A full-color, printed mural guide is available upon request. Let us know if you would like a copy and we will send you one. Or just stop by to check it out!
