seeking a Program Manager to run a Crown Heights anti-gun violence program. The Center for Court
Innovation, founded as a public/private partnership with the Fund for the City of New York, is a non-
profit think tank that helps aid victims, reduce crime and improve public confidence
Operating out of a storefront since the summer of 1998, the Mediation Center provides training, youth
programs and resource links to community residents. Its mission is to strengthen the community and prevent
future conflicts by enhancing access to justice, promoting public safety, and encouraging communication and
understanding. The soon to be named anti-gun violence program will be a replication of the Chicago Project
for Violence Prevention’s evidence-based CeaseFire: The Campaign to Stop the Shooting program, a
cutting edge gun violence prevention model that aims to reduce and prevent shootings through the use of
public health strategies. Working closely with the Mediation Center’s Project Director, the Program
Manager will be responsible for operationalizing the five core components of the Crown Heights anti-gun
violence approach: outreach, community mobilization, public education, faith leader involvement and
relationship with local law enforcement representatives.
