Development & Finance Associate, Youth Sentencing & Reentry Project (YSRP)

About YSRP: The Youth Sentencing & Reentry Project’s (YSRP) ultimate goal is to end the practice of charging youth as adults. In the meantime, YSRP seeks to lessen the duration and impact of adult criminal sentences on children and their families, who are primarily low-income and Black and Brown. Through individual cases and systemic policy advocacy, we work to transform the experiences of children prosecuted in the adult criminal justice system and to ensure that children who have contact with the adult justice system can return home and live full lives with dignity. We partner with court-involved youth, their families, and lawyers to develop holistic, humanizing narratives that mitigate the facts of each case to avoid adult incarceration and provide decision-makers with actionable alternatives. With a commitment to elevating our client-partners’ agency and self-determined goals, we make crucial connections to community resources, providing our youth and Juvenile Lifer client-partners with access to supportive services including in the areas of education, healthcare, housing, and employment. Finally, we work to raise awareness of the issues that face young people in the adult criminal justice system and to reform the system.

Position Description: The Development & Finance Associate works collaboratively with YSRP staff and client-partners to support activities across both YSRP’s development and finance teams.  The Development & Finance Associate is a full-time, non-exempt staff position that will report to the Director of Development & Communications and work closely with the Director of Finance & Operations. The Development & Finance Associate’s role is critical in managing administrative processes, internal data, and external communications to support YSRP’s mission, which seeks to lessen the duration and impact of adult criminal sentences on children and families in and around Philadelphia.
