NLADA VISTA Leader

Because the quality of justice in America should not depend on how much money a person has, NLADA leads a broad network of advocates on the front lines to advance justice and expand opportunity for all by promoting excellence in the delivery of legal services for people who cannot afford counsel. This VISTA project, Defending Communities in Service, will build sustainable community relationships and data systems and practices that allow participating public defender offices to more holistically support communities in need. The VISTA leader (that’s you!) will build capacity within NLADA directly to effectively field a national VISTA project with a network of VISTAs across the country focused on two separate tracks of service: Community Partnerships or Data Systems. You will serve as the day‑to‑day point of contact for VISTAs in the national network and will conduct weekly group check‑in calls and one‑on‑one calls as needed. You will also be responsible for collecting first draft/raw performance measurement data from national network VISTAs and synthesizing it for discussion with project supervisor. During your time at NLADA, you will help to create program related documents and timelines to be utilized and customized by a national network VISTA project members.
