New York, NY, United States Jewish Child Care Association Full time
Program Overview: JCCA's Family Violence Prevention Program in Brooklyn supports children and families affected by Domestic Violence (DV) and Intimate Partner Violence (IPV). Exposure to DV/IPV can cause trauma, fear, and family instability, often leading to child welfare involvement. JCCA is committed to preventing these outcomes by providing high-quality services that promote safety, mental health, and family unity through clinical and supportive interventions.

Position Summary: The Family Peer Advocate (FPA) is a peer-support role for survivors and families impacted by DV/IPV. FPAs, who have lived experience as parents or caregivers, provide empathy, guidance, and practical support. They help families navigate child-serving systems and connect them to essential services like shelters, counseling, and legal aid. FPAs co-facilitate support groups, foster peer networks, and model resilience and empowerment, working closely with the care team.

Responsibilities
  • Conduct home visits to assess environments, monitor parent/child interactions, provide referrals, education, and crisis support.
  • Co-facilitate Parenting Journey and Growing Great Kids weekly groups, enhancing recovery and support.
  • Lead prosocial activities for children exposed to DV/IPV, promoting resilience, self-esteem, and empowerment.
Qualifications
  • Self-identify as a parent/caregiver with lived experience of domestic violence and provide supporting documentation.
  • Minimum high school diploma or equivalency, plus State Office of Mental Health-recognized credential (e.g., Parent Empowerment Program training).
  • Skilled in Microsoft Office and teamwork across departments.
  • Knowledge of community resources and social determinants of health, race equity, social justice, and trauma-informed care.
  • Strong interpersonal, communication, and organizational skills.
  • Bilingual Spanish highly preferred.
