Our mission at the Institute for Criminal Justice Training Reform is to save lives and reduce injury among the public and the police by reforming the flawed training models, procedures and legislative standards for employees in the United States' Criminal Justice System, particularly those with the power to arrest, detain, commit and kill.
Beginning with in-depth research, our organization identifies needed changes to training in coordination with those communities who are impacted the most. Encouraging public engagement, we work in partnership with organizations and community leaders to promote safe, scientific, data-driven, and innovative changes to criminal justice training throughout the U.S.
Volunteer Position: We are looking for a grant writer who can assist with researching, creating, and writing grant proposals to fund the Institute and our current initiatives and programs. The ideal volunteer will be passionate about criminal justice reform and have a desire to help reform the police training process.

Responsibilities:
- Research, develop, and write inquiries, letters, and other fundraising documents
- Develop and cultivate contacts for funders and potential funding sources
- Draft proposals and other correspondence to solicit grant funds
- Track and monitor proposals, their deadlines, and requirements
- Ensure proposals and grant reports are submitted by the deadline(s)
