Legal Services of North Florida (LSNF) is a private not-for-profit organization, serving sixteen counties across the central and western Florida Panhandle whose purpose is to provide case representation and advice to low-income persons in civil matters. The Volunteer Recruitment and Event Management VISTA (VREMV) will serve as a liaison between Legal Services of North Florida (LSNF) and potential volunteers, donors, and stakeholders. The VREMV will be housed at LSNF and will report to the Senior Attorney. The VREMV will work with LSNF to recruit local attorneys, law students, and other potential volunteers to support direct services. The VREMV will assist in developing a volunteer engagement plan, a summer clerk program, a Veterans volunteer plan, and a disaster volunteer plan. The VREMV will work in partnership with LSNF development staff in streamlining our annual fundraiser and pro bono recognition events and developing new donors. The VREMV will assess support the development of an advisory board to improve community input on services and needs.

VISTA ALIGNS is a group of nonprofit partner agencies in Escambia County, Florida that have committed to identifying and implementing capacity building measures that improve the lives of those in poverty. The mission of the VISTA ALIGNS program is to stabilize the health and financial stability of families in our community who struggle to overcome deficits in education and opportunity. United Way of Escambia County works directly with the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) to place AmeriCorps VISTA members at VISTA ALIGNS partner agencies, such as Achieve Escambia, to fulfill this mission.
