City of New Orleans - EMS Outreach Coordinator VISTA
 
 
 
The City of New Orleans VISTA program is implemented by the Office of Mayor LaToya Cantrell and New Orleans Emergency Medical Services (NOEMS). The City is seeking passionate individuals to build capacity to break the cycle of poverty and empower our community. New Orleans Emergency Medical Services (NOEMS) is the sole 911 provider response agency in Orleans Parish. In addition to responding to 911 CFS, NOEMS has over 150 volunteers who assist with special initiatives of the office. These initiatives include providing bystander response training, car seat safety training, and emergency preparedness information to residents. The New Orleans EMS VISTA will build capacity by increasing community outreach, expanding public education opportunities, and developing NOEMS specific employment pathways. The VISTA Project will develop and deploy effective, inclusive, and innovative outreach and engagement initiatives that increase awareness of NOEMS programs and support vulnerable communities. The member will also implement project initiatives towards the continued development and coordination of the NOEMS public education and employment pathways. This will break the cycle of poverty by supporting some of the city’s most disproportionally impacted residents, connecting community leaders and organizations that service low-income individuals and families with first responder services and education. This position is a unique opportunity to help the local community and get an inside look at a robust emergency services program. You will gain experience in communications, project management, and community outreach among other skills. You will also learn bystander response, build relationships, engage with diverse communities, and have the opportunity to network with community partners in Orleans parish.
