3 weeks ago

New York, United States City of New York Full time

THE SELECTED CANDIDATE WILL BE OFFERED A SALARY BETWEEN $, - $,.

The Administration for Children’s Services (ACS) protects and promotes the safety and well-being of children and families through child welfare and juvenile justice services and community supports. ACS manages community-based supports and foster care services, and provides subsidized child care vouchers. ACS child protection staff respond to allegations of child maltreatment. In juvenile justice, ACS oversees detention, placement and programs for youth in the community.

In , ACS established the Division of Child and Family Well-Being (CFWB) to develop innovative primary prevention programs that serve families in NYC. Rooted in the belief that all New Yorkers should have access to quality resources and opportunities that enhance their capacity to thrive, CFWB provides direct connections to primary supports for families to improve the well-being of children and families and by extension, their communities. CFWB also provides access to quality resources and opportunities that promote child and family well-being, enhance families' capacity to thrive, and helps minimize child welfare system involvement.

The Office of Community Engagement & Partnerships (OCEP), within ACS’ Division of Child and Family Well-Being (CFWB), works collaboratively with community residents, leaders, faith institutions, fatherhood providers and other stakeholders to 1) Promote goodwill and help deepen the community’s awareness of ACS’ programs, services and campaigns; 2) Connect the general public and vulnerable children and families to an array of community supports offered by ACS’ contract agencies; 3) Organize and convene the community through ACS’ 11 Community Partnership Programs and 3 Family Enrichment Center (FEC) networks; and 4) Build new partnerships that help to support equity and family safety, stability, and well-being.

OCEP builds social capital through its externally facing strategies by 1) deepening the community’s awareness of ACS’ programs and services; 2) supporting ACS-funded coalitions and planning bodies; and 3) building local and citywide partnerships, with a focus on promoting primary prevention and child and family well-being strategies. ACS, through OCEP, has established a presence in key City communities, with the leadership of the outgoing employee who successfully developed strong partnerships with a range of community groups and organizations.
