Bilingual Facilitator, Intimate Partner Violence (IPV)

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.

• THE OPPORTUNITY The Center’s Gender and Family Justice (GFJ) team is rooted in researching, developing, and implementing evidence-based best practices for the handling of domestic violence, sexual assault, teen dating violence, stalking, exploitation and trafficking cases.
• The team is values-based and is committed to actively promoting equitable, open, and intentional spaces within our team and within greater community discussions.
• In order to facilitate collaborative conversations that center well-being and self-reflection, the team encourages respectful conduct towards each other, our staff, and our guests — conduct that strives to be anti-racist and inclusive of marginalized individuals.
• The team acknowledges that we work within systems that uphold institutional inequity and are committed to listening to and amplifying the voices and perspectives of institutionally harmed communities in our work.
• The Center’s Gender and Family Justice team is seeking a Bilingual Facilitator to facilitate classes that address intimate partner and family violence.
• The Bilingual Facilitator will teach primarily in the Tactics and Choices class, which facilitates classes for those arrested for Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) charges and who are participating in the Supervised Release Program.
• Participants are either mandated or encouraged to voluntarily attend this class as part of their supervised release program.
• The class offers participants an overview of basic principles of power and control dynamics and uses an interactive format to introduce strategies for making healthy choices in intimate relationships.
• The Bilingual Facilitator will provide this class as part of a larger IPV supervised release track, with the goal of increasing compliance with court mandates and return to court.
• The Bilingual Facilitator will also train in other IPV and domestic violence groups and classes as the team seeks to expand programming.
