What is a VISTA Community Outreach Specialist?
Our VISTA community outreach specialists are volunteers housed at The Alliance who are helping Mississippi nonprofits and philanthropies across the state to enhance their collective impact on the quality of life of MS residents by conducting surveys, telephone interviews, and site visits with nonprofit and community organizations to gather data about needs, gaps, and challenges that nonprofits experience. This data helps The Alliance continue to develop quality programming to address member needs.
If you have not yet completed the MS nonprofit census, your VISTA Community Outreach Specialist is actively attempting to contact you!
