    The Violence Intervention Program (VIP) partners with Latinx communities and all communities of color to end gender-based violence. Created as a grassroots response to intimate partner violence and sexual assault, VIP has always centered survivors in its leadership and has worked to create a community of staff that reflects the rich national, ethnic and racial diversity of the communities it serves. VIP operates three non-residential social service programs, two residential shelter and housing programs, three specialized programs, a bilingual helpline, and a robust community engagement team.

    The Restorative Justice Program at VIP is one of the first restorative justice programs to be developed within a domestic violence agency. The program will be working directly with survivors of domestic violence and people/communities who have caused them harm. The goal of the restorative justice program will be to engage survivors and everyone impacted by harm in creating the responses that they need to transform interpersonal violence. The program is dedicated to creating transformative approaches for healing of survivors, their families and communities.

    The Restorative Justice Facilitator is an exuberant and compassionate individual with a demonstrated commitment to developing alternative approaches to community healing and restoration with families impacted by domestic violence. The Facilitator reports directly to the Restorative Justice Manager and is responsible for conducting outreach and running a variety of community building and restorative circles designed to offer support to Latinx survivors, families and community. The ideal candidate is an active listener and skilled communicator who engages people with compassion and empathy and views conflict as an opportunity for transformation.
