(DCC) for the EJP-York program. The position is based at the prison, and the most
important part of the role is engaging with incarcerated EJP tutors and incarcerated
high school learners. Hiring depends on receiving clearance from the Illinois

Center (DCC) by assisting and working with students toward achieving academic goals

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.
