Since we closed our doors as Scarritt College and reopened as Scarritt Bennett Center in 1988, we have grown into a thriving organization that continues the work of racial justice, women’s empowerment, transformative education, and spiritual formation. Through our educational programming and spiritual offerings, we have touched lives, initiated progress, and sowed seeds of hope far and wide.
Will you join us in continuing our legacy by supporting with a donation? Your generous contribution will help us continue our journey of impact as we renew minds and transform lives.
