Our Staff

At the Center, putting people first is what we do—in legal systems and in communities. Within our nearly 1,000-person (and growing) team, we have planners, lawyers, social workers, researchers, violence interrupters, case managers, community engagement coordinators, and many others from diverse fields and backgrounds.

Meet the dedicated leaders who are guiding our organization towards community justice that puts people first.
