We are professional, innovative, supportive and our goal is to ensure quality of justice, 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 new 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. VISTAs will build capacity within their host organizations focused on two separate tracks of service: you will serve as the driving force connecting their hosting Public Defender office to other justice system stakeholders, community organizations and service providers, strategic leaders, and to other relevant local National Service operations. These connections will help the public defenders to more effectively provide wraparound services to their clients and to more clearly understand and communicate the overall local services landscape upon which their clients rely. All NLADA VISTA project members will explore opportunities to utilize technology and automation to create communication and data-sharing channels between public defenders and human services organizations designed to last beyond the period of their projects, with minimal maintenance required.

  • Living Allowance

They will conduct research to find opportunities for clients to receive support, build a comprehensive method of tracking partnerships, and ensure the sustainability of those relationships. The ideal candidate will need people skills, a commitment to the well-being of the community, and the ability to collaborate with stakeholders across a spectrum of political, social, and cultural ideologies.
