Who is operating the NYC Justice Corps? Who provides direct services to Corps members?
The NYC Justice Corps is a collaborative project led by local government in close partnership with private community service providers. The City University of New York – through John Jay College of Criminal Justice – oversees all contracts. In partnership with the NYC Department of Correction, John Jay College provides policy direction and program development support. The Bedford Stuyvesant Restoration Corporation and the Phipps Community Development Corporation provide direct services in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn and the South Bronx, respectively. The Center for Employment Opportunities provides technical assistance and capacity building to these two community-based organizations. Westat, Inc., in partnership with Metis Associates, is conducting the implementation and outcome evaluations of the NYC Justice Corps.
