Job description

Who We Are:

CAMBA is a community of staff, volunteers, clients, donors, neighbors and partners who work together to build an inclusive New York City, where all children and adults have access to the resources and supports they need to thrive. We take a comprehensive approach by offering more than 160 integrated programs in: Education & Youth Development, Family Support, Job Training & Employment Support Services, Health, Housing, and Legal Services. We reach more than 65,000 individuals and families each year at our 90 locations, including 10,000 youth. CAMBA serves a diverse cross section of New Yorkers from new mothers in Brownsville to job seekers in the Rockaways. More than half of our clients are immigrants and refugees from around the globe. Over 85% of our families are living in poverty, reflecting the challenges faced by nearly 1.7 million New Yorkers today.

CAMBA’s Brownsville In, Violence Out (BIVO) Program

BIVO is part of the NYC Crisis Management System (CMS). CMS is the city-wide effort coordinated by the Mayor’s Office of Prevent Gun Violence (OPGV) within the Mayor’s Office of Criminal Justice (MOCJ) to reduce gun violence and address its impact on communities. BIVO works with 16–24 year old at‑risk youths who are or may have potentially been involved in street violence, community residents, businesses and community‑based organizations to implement the Cure Violence Model. The Cure Violence model is a community‑based public health approach to preventing gun violence that is replicated in numerous large cities around the world and internationally. This program will focus on a defined area identified as a program service area in Brownsville, Brooklyn for shooting violence within the 73rd Precinct. The program works to prevent gun violence by: 1) mediating conflicts that may end in gun violence, 2) changing the mindset of individuals who are most at risk of being victims or perpetrators of violence, and 3) working closely with a broad coalition of local partners to promote a visible community‑wide message that shooting is unacceptable behavior and 4) helping organize Brownsville Safety Alliance resource fairs with the 73rd precinct to provide additional support to Brownsville residents.
