ASK Program Manager, Center for Social Justice, Georgetown University

As a part of the nation’s oldest Catholic and Jesuit university, the Center for Social Justice (CSJ) animates the University’s values and mission through it’s work in research, teaching, and service. A component of the service work includes the direct service work of CSJ’s five signature programs, including the After School Kids (ASK) Program.

The ASK Program is a signature program at CSJ, which seeks to empower adjudicated youth in the District of Columbia to make positive changes in their lives by challenging them with new learning opportunities and teaching the necessary skills to meet those challenges. The Program Manager of the ASK Program is responsible for on-site coordination and preparation of the program sites of a tutoring and mentoring program for court-involved youth which employs up to 150 part-time university student workers and volunteers serving 200 youth living in Washington, DC each year under the direction of the Assistant Director for Youth Justice Programs.

This coordination includes student staff recruitment, implementing staff training, and serving on the professional staff on-call schedule.
