Director of Development at FRRC

The Florida Rights Restoration Coalition (FRRC) is a powerful nonpartisan grassroots organization led by Returning Citizens—people who were formerly incarcerated—working alongside committed allies. Our mission is to dismantle the systematic disenfranchisement facing those with past convictions while creating a more effective reentry system that reduces recidivism, enhances successful reintegration, and strengthens public safety.

This is an opportunity to partner with a renowned leader in rights restoration for returning citizens, named one of the most influential people by Time magazine, and is highly networked and regarded throughout the state and in the field.
