The Center is now The Rowan Center!
The Rowan Center takes its name from the Rowan tree, a sturdy, resilient symbol of strength, growth, rebirth and courage.
At the Rowan Center, we provide support against the challenges that survivors of sexual violence face. We empower our clients to find the strength, resilience and courage within themselves, and we educate our community to help change societal norms.
The motto for the Rowan Center succinctly states the agency’s areas of focus: “Empower, Educate, Eliminate.”
OUR COMMUNITY
The Rowan Center is a member program of Connecticut Alliance to End Sexual Violence (formerly CONNSACS), and we are proud to support children and adults in the eight towns of Lower Fairfield County: Darien, Greenwich, New Canaan, Norwalk, Stamford, Weston, Westport and Wilton.
