Center for Court Innovation Seeks Programs Associate, Capacity Building (NYC)

The Center is seeking a Programs Associate for a new program, Neighborhood Safety Initiative (NSI), that supports the Mayor’s Action Plan for Neighborhood Safety (MAP).  Underway since 2015 and led by the Mayor’s Office of Criminal Justice, MAP is a comprehensive strategy to enhance public safety and strengthen community well-being in 15 public housing developments across New York City.  A primary component of the program, Neighborhood Stat (NSTAT), aims to enhance safety by strengthening collaboration and capacity among community residents.
