Associate Data Manager Jobs in Pennsylvania (NOW HIRING)

Philadelphia’s Office of Safe Neighborhoods (OSN) prioritizes public safety within our communities, focusing on ending gun violence in our city. Our objective is to reduce and end gun violence through a comprehensive strategy that tackles the root causes and offers social services to Philadelphians in need. OSN’s social support initiatives prioritize mental health services, such as the Community Crisis Intervention Program (CCIP), through community outreach engagement.

The Community Crisis Intervention Program (“CCIP”) uses credible messengers to serve as Community Crisis Outreach Workers to prevent and reduce gun violence in Philadelphia. CCIP employs proactive strategies to foster meaningful relationships in Philadelphia’s most violent neighborhoods, steering those involved in violence (or at a high risk of violence) into alternative positive choices, mediating neighborhood conflicts, and responding to neighborhood crises related to violence. OSN contracts three organizations to employ credible messengers, including the Philadelphia Anti-Drug/Anti-Violence Network (PAAN), the Institute for the Development of African American Youth (IDAAY), and Eddie’s House.

The Philadelphia Anti-Drug/Anti-Violence Network (PAAN) is a non-profit agency dedicated to addressing drug abuse and violence within communities across the city. PAAN works to transform youth and adult lives through drug intervention, counseling, education, job readiness, community service, academic achievement, and various empowerment programs.
