This position may be eligible for remote work for up to 2 days per week, pursuant to the Remote Work Pilot Program.
The Agency You’ll Join:
In November 2022, New York City voters overwhelmingly approved three ballot proposals that put racial equity and justice at the heart of city government, including the NYC Commission on Racial Equity (NYC CORE).
The first of its kind in the nation, the NYC Commission on Racial Equity is an independent 15-member commission responsible for engaging diverse communities to guide and assess the City’s racial equity planning process. NYC CORE provides accountability for New Yorkers, regularly evaluating the City’s progress on its racial requirements and goals. Composed of diverse New Yorkers with equity expertise and/or relevant lived experience, the agency serves as a conduit for the integration of historically excluded communities and voices into government decision-making.
The Team You’ll Work With:
The Legal Division at CORE seeks an experienced attorney to serve as Assistant General Counsel. The Division ensures that the Commission operates in compliance with new City Charter provisions on racial equity planning and programming as well as other relevant statutory mandates.
