Coordinate and serve as point of contact for BXDA events including Gun Violence Prevention Week and peace rallies.

Assist in the coordination of and participate in responses to specific instances of violence in Bronx County.

Serve as internal agency contact for crime prevention efforts led by BXDA.

Supervise and train Community Engagement Coordinators in prevention efforts.

Other duties as assigned.

The City of New York offers a comprehensive benefits package including health insurance for the employee and his/her spouse or domestic partner and unemancipated children under age 26, union benefits such as dental and vision coverage, paid annual leave and sick leave, paid holidays, a pension, and optional savings and pre-tax programs such as Deferred Compensation, IRA, and a flexible spending account.
