Toni Carbetta

Toni is thrilled to rejoin the International Community Justice Association (ICJA) as its Executive Coordinator, bringing extensive experience in nonprofit management, community corrections, and systemic change. Toni first became involved with ICJA in 2014 after earning her bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice from the University of Cincinnati. During her initial tenure, she deepened her expertise in restorative justice, developed a strong commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), and contributed to the planning of ICJA’s annual conferences and Public Policy Forums - events that connected her with members, government leaders, and inspired her to pursue further education in nonprofit and government leadership.

​

From 2018 to 2022, Toni worked in Ohio’s child welfare system, supporting at-risk youth in foster care. Her work focused on equipping youth with life skills, connecting them with trauma-informed services, and participating in initiatives to improve staff training, retention, and the adoption of new technologies. These experiences reinforced her dedication to fostering systemic change by uniting organizations and agencies to create stronger, more equitable communities.

​

Toni earned her MBA from Mount Vernon Nazarene University during the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on managing nonprofit organizations and government agencies.

​

As ICJA’s Executive Coordinator, Toni is committed to collaborating with members to build on the association’s recent transformations and advance innovative research, policies, and practices that enhance community-based justice services.
