 Director, Center on Youth Justice *Location:* New York, NY *Department:*
Center on Youth Justice *Type:* Full Time *Min. Experience:* Executive

The Vera Institute of Justice (Vera) seeks a visionary leader with a
passion for justice to lead its Center on Youth Justice (CYJ) at an
exciting transition in the life of the organization.  Vera’s new president
has been in place since August 2013.

CYJ is an innovative locus of research, technical assistance and program
development focused on youth who are involved in justice systems and the
people and communities most affected by this involvement.  Launched in
2001, CYJ and its predecessor program have worked intensively in New York
City, New York State and across the country with policymakers and
practitioners who want juvenile justice to be rooted in the community, more
effective, and smaller in scale, touching the lives of fewer children. CYJ
aims to reduce bias in juvenile justice systems, expand the use of
community-based services, divert youth who may be more effectively served
by other resources and advance public safety.

Today, with a strong portfolio of work, a group of impressively talented
and highly industrious colleagues and the opportunities for renewal that
accompany any leadership change, Vera is looking for a director to build on
CYJ’s considerable strengths and guide, challenge and inspire a unique
organization to think afresh about how its work with youth can achieve the
greatest impact.  Additional critical priorities for the director include
working closely with the center’s research director and Vera’s broader
leadership team to create a strategic plan for the center, maintaining and
strengthening the quality of ongoing efforts and developing further the
center’s public efforts to leverage its knowledge and skills.
