The Associate Program Director of AFSC's Michigan Criminal Justice Program works in direct partnership with the Program Director to support and guide Program Staff, Volunteers, Inside Connectors and Participants in fulfilling the Mission of our program: Accompanying women serving long sentences in Michigan through incarceration to liberation.
This Mission is met by creating, supporting and engaging networks of interpersonal relationship through the three (3) main tenants of our program work: The Good Neighbor Project (TGN), Moms Empowering Moms (MEMs), and Welcome Home Good Neighbor Freedom Hub (WHGN).
The Associate Program Director will be responsible for leading, guiding and participating in the exchange of educational dialogue with currently and formerly incarcerated people to formulate an informed written analysis and participatory action plan for all Transformative Justice Campaign Initiatives drafted, supported and promoted by our work. As our work at the MCJP of the AFSC is directly connected to the only women's prison in the state of Michigan it will be imperative for the Associate Program Director to have the skill set to incorporate a feminist framework into the development of strategic narrative change and diligently advocate for the inclusion of said framework when working across gendered barriers within coalition movement work.
