Community Engagement & Partnerships VISTA

Canopy NWA is seeking a dedicated and mission-driven Ameri Corps VISTA to support our Community Engagement team. This role is well-suited for someone who values relationship building and wants to help strengthen long-term systems that connect Canopy with the broader Northwest Arkansas community through engagement, education, and collaboration.

This position offers a meaningful opportunity to build nonprofit capacity, strengthen community connections, and support inclusive systems that advance economic opportunity and belonging for newcomers and long-term residents in Northwest Arkansas.
