Over the last few years Memphis has witnessed excessive increases in community violence. Most of this violence is often attributed to a small number of repeat offenders who lack the resources and supports needed to transition out of a life of crime. Community-based organizations and local government partners have begun implementing newly created violence reduction initiatives; however, many of these local partners are siloed in their approach to the work and find it difficult to engage in strategic collaboration and coordination.

In response to this need, LISC Memphis is seeking a Program Officer, Safety to provide project management and strategic coordination of a public health focused violence reduction initiative designed to convene local partners around the creation of a Community Violence Intervention and Prevention (CVIP) Ecosystem. By developing a comprehensive violence reduction ecosystem approach, LISC and local partners hope to impact a number of variables known to drive community violence in Memphis - such as the lack of trust in law enforcement, lack of partnership coordination, and a lack of safety and quality public healthcare.
