This article appears to be largely the work of NCJF staffers and includes a fair amount of promotional material. I've just trimmed the worst of it, but have left the most informative sentences even though they still read more like PR copy than like an encyclopedia article. I took out the section on the Sharon Rivo since it's not notable. If someone cares to know who the center's executive director is, they can go to its website.

A friendly word to the NCJF staffers who I assume monitor changes to this article from time to time: according to WP policies, you shouldn't be making any edits at all to this article. This policy goes to the heart of WP as an encyclopedia edited by disinterested parties. I've left much of your copy because I think it does have informational value, even though I really shouldn't have. Please don't reflexively revert my edits because you want to promote the center through WP. In fact, you really should just sit back now and let the article evolve on its own. I'll be monitoring the article and this talk page, so if you take issue with the changes I've made, please discuss that here. And thanks for all your great work at the center!
