Job Number: JR21272
Salary: $44,022.00 - $73,406.80
Closing Date: April 23, 2025


The Georgetown University Prisons and Justice Initiative (PJI) connects people affected by mass incarceration with opportunities to shape their own futures. In prisons, in our local communities, and on campus, PJI aims to empower currently and formerly incarcerated people as scholars, leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and advocates. Grounded in Georgetown’s commitment to social justice, PJI also serves to engage the wider university community in understanding the causes and responding to the consequences of mass incarceration, one of the most pressing crises of our time. PJI’s programs offer transformative education and training to open doors for incarcerated and formerly incarcerated individuals in Washington, D.C. and Maryland.

The Community Resource Manager (CRM) is initially a one-year term position funded by the US District Court of the District of Columbia, which provides reentry support and supervision to about five hundred pretrial and post-conviction returning citizens. The CRM will provide intensive support to individuals who are on pretrial release, probation, or supervised release in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, while building a database of resources and providing relevant referrals for admission for PJI’s reentry programs. The CRM will work closely with the Pretrial Services Agency (PSA) for the District of Columbia and the U.S. Probation Office (USPO) to identify supervisees who can benefit from additional services offered by community-based agencies, non-profit organizations, and others.

Duties include but are not limited to:

  • Work directly with USPO and PSA officers to identify returning citizens who would benefit from additional services.

  • Coordinate with judges and court staff from the District Court to provide reentry services.

  • Collaborate with individuals to develop a personalized reentry plan, which includes appropriate goal setting measures and identifies areas of need.

  • Complete regular assessments of needs and coordinate referrals to community-based organizations that will provide specific reentry services.

  • Cultivate and preserve community partnerships with other service providers.

  • Attend community events and informational sessions targeting the reentry community.

  • Regularly update our database of DC, MD, and VA re-entry services and resources.

Work Interactions

The CRM will support the unique needs of all PJI programs: the Georgetown Pivot Program, the MORCA Georgetown Paralegal Program, the Prison Scholars Program at the DC Jail, the Bachelors of Liberal Arts (BLA) Program. The CRM will work closely with Director of Reentry Services, and the Program Managers for the Paralegal and Pivot Programs. The CRM will report to the Director of Reentry Services. The CRM will serve as direct supervisor for the new Reentry Coordinator position.
