Institute for Nonviolence Chicago's mission is to end the cycle of violence using Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s principles and teachings of nonviolence. Informed by a philosophy of nonviolence, Nonviolence Chicago will establish caring and sustained relationships with participants engaged in the cycle of violence. We will emphasize partnerships with community members, leaders, social service providers, and local law enforcement to reduce community levels of violence. We will help create a safer, healthier environment for young adults, youth, and their families. These general approaches will be specifically addressed using for major methods: Community Violence Intervention (CVI) / Street Outreach, Individualized Service Provision, Victim Support Services, and Nonviolence Training.

Location: Austin, Back of the Yards & West Garfield Park

Crisis Prevention Response Unit (CPRU): The CPRU is a team of nearly 30 street outreach staff from impacted communities throughout Chicago who receive specialized crisis response training and are deployed on a moment's notice to crisis situations - most notably teen trends. The CPRU staff have credibility within their communities and seek to maintain or restore peace, and reduce violent victimization, and arrests through deescalation and conflict resolution. When not deployed or otherwise engaged with the CPRU, the front-line staff (who are employees of CVI organizations throughout the city) work in conjunction with their home organization's street outreach department to strengthen neighborhood peacekeeping efforts. At this time, Institute for Nonviolence Chicago employs three CPRU staff – one in each of the three neighborhoods served (Austin, West Garfield Park and Back of the Yards).

Flat Lining Violence Inspires Peace (FLIP) Program: The FLIP Program uses a proven strategy to create a safe presence on Chicago's most highly impacted blocks. The model advances street outreach work by engaging high-risk individuals (program participants) who live in neighborhoods that are at a high risk for violence and provides them a daily stipend to be physically present on neighborhood "hotspots" as well as training to mediate and de-escalate conflict. Participants have credibility and influence with local street groups and are viewed as trusted insiders who are native to hot spots and community. This uniquely equips them to contribute to peace by engaging networks who engage in violence. Participants are also provided with support and resources for their own professional growth. At this time, Institute for Nonviolence Chicago provides the FLIP Program in each of the three neighborhoods served (Austin, West Garfield Park and Back of the Yards).

OVERVIEW: Reporting to the Associate Director of Outreach & Intervention, the manager is tasked with ensuring all program requirements of the FLIP Program are met in Austin, West Garfield Park and Back of the Yards. The manager will work closely with the outreach departments in each neighborhood as well as the finance department, data department and organizational leadership to continuously implement operational improvements, ensure compliance with grant requirements, and support positive participant outcomes. The manager will make sure program participants are provided with the necessary trainings to be able to de-escalate conflict in their communities while enrolled and the job readiness resources to support their personal professional growth upon completion of the program. This position will also supervise outreach staff serving the CPRU, who will support the FLIP Program when not otherwise engaged in CPRU duties.

The ideal candidate has deep knowledge of the Community Violence Intervention (CVI) field as well as current neighborhood dynamics. The manager must have experience supervising staff, be detail oriented, and be capable of implementing large-scale projects.
