The FOZA Community Liaison Officer serves as a human link between the FOZA organization and the people we serve.
Individuals who love advocating for others, speaking with different kinds of people, and making a difference in the lives of others at the grassroots level will thrive in this role.
The Community Liaison Officer position can be 100% virtual, however (where COVID guidelines permit) meetings with individuals in the local community can help greatly to build a potential resource list for the clients of FOZA as well as a professional resource list for service providers.
The Community Liaison Officer’s specific duties may vary from month to month or project to project.
