Program Associate

THE ORGANIZATION The Center for Justice Innovation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing community safety and racial justice.

Since 1996, we’ve worked alongside communities, courts, and those most directly affected by the justice system to build stronger, healthier, and more equitable neighborhoods.

With a team of over 900 staff and an annual budget of $130 million, the Center carries out its mission through three core strategies :

• Operating Programs  that pilot new ideas and address local challenges; Conducting original research to evaluate what works—and what doesn’t; and Providing expert assistance and policy guidance to reformers across the country and beyond.
• Backed by decades of on-the-ground experience and nationally recognized expertise, we bring innovative, practical, and lasting solutions to justice systems nationwide.

• Building on the Center’s successful court- and -community-based project models such as Bronx Community Solutions and the Brownsville Community Justice Center, New Rochelle Community Justice Center brings together a range of court- and community-based partnerships to create and enhance a more equitable and safer community.
• The New Rochelle Community Justice Center is seeking a Program Associate for its DREAM (Developmental Resources for Emerging Adult Members) and YJEP (Youth Justice and Equity Program) programs.
