Date Prepared: January 12th, 2024
The Fortune Society's David Rothenberg Center for Public Policy provides the leadership role in Fortune's policy development, advocacy, technical assistance, and community education efforts. DRCPP integrates Fortune's internal expertise - the life experience of our formerly incarcerated staff and participants, and our first-hand experience as a direct service provider - with research to advocate for fairness, racial justice, and humane treatment in our criminal legal system. We promote effective program models and needed supports for people with conviction histories and work to change the counterproductive laws and policies that needlessly detain and incarcerate people and create unfair barriers to the successful reentry of people with convictions into our communities.
Position Summary:
The ideal candidate will have strong communication, analytical, writing, and research skills. The candidate will have deep personal commitment to and professional knowledge of the criminal legal system and other corollary policy issues, including but not limited to housing, employment, education and health. The selected candidate will play a key role in supporting the work of the DRCPP through various coalitions; participation in public-facing events; helping to develop and advance the policy agenda of the DRCPP; and in researching and writing about topics to support DRCPP's policy and advocacy agenda (for example: the impact of discrimination on people with conviction histories and the efficacy of alternative to incarceration and reentry services in promoting public safety).
Essential Duties and Responsibilities:
Does not currently supervise paid staff, but may supervise interns, fellows, and/or volunteers.
