Chicago/Community Anti-Violence Education (C.A.V.E.) Co-Coordinator

Incarcerated EJP students regularly describe CAVE as the most impactful program they have ever experienced. This makes sense since it’s their program, devised and led by incarcerated men. Two Chicago Anti-Violence Education Group (CAVE) co-coordinators serve as “outside” members who support program logistics and provide resources and support as required. They report directly to EJP’s Academic Director. Each co-coordinator spends between 5 – 10 hours/week on C.A.V.E. activities.
