"The NYC Justice Corps aims to change the dynamic between justice system-involved young adults and the communities in which they live. At the heart of the program are community benefit projects - from renovation and restoration projects to educational and arts initiatives - designed and carried out by Corps members. Community benefit projects promote transformation on several levels" (p. 1). This report explains how this is done and Corps' accomplishments.
