The Cambridge Empowerment Center is a nonprofit, multi-use community center in the heart of the Pine Street Historic District in Cambridge, Maryland. Opened in 2003, it sits on the former site of 1918 The Pine Street School in the heart of the African American community. Named to the National Register of Historic Places in 2012, the Pine Street Historic District has a rich history.

​

The Cambridge Empowerment Center is governed by a board of directors, known as
The Pine Street Committee, Inc., who oversee the programs and use of the building.

The Center serves basic needs as well as social and recreational opportunities for the entire community, regardless of age. Programs are developed to help in times of emergency with food, clothing, children’s programs, and other resources. We partner with many other organizations to provide more extensive services.
