Maxwell Serchery cohort 2I joined the NYC Justice Corps because I wanted to develop skills in a professional environment.
The New York State Division of Parole, the New York City Departments of Correction and Probation, alternative to incarceration (ATI) programs, and community members are among the Justice Corps’ referral partners.
In addition to other benefits, enrollment provides Corps members an hourly stipend of $7.15-$8.40 per hour for full-time participation.
The William Hodson Senior Center is the oldest senior center in the United States. Corps members undertook an intensive clean-up campaign, restored the stage in the main dining room, and repainted the walls of the auditorium to create a vibrant atmosphere for the seniors.
Crotona Park is the largest park in the South Bronx and has partnered with the Justice Corps on a variety of outdoor and indoor projects. Corps members have repainted basketball courts and playground areas, as well as the walls of the pool house. Most recently, they helped design and plant a new garden landscape by building a fence around newly installed flowerbeds to prevent erosion.
