Nelson Mullins' Irvin Elected to Advisory Board of City Year Columbia

COLUMBIA, S.C. – Jim Irvin, a partner in Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough's Columbia office, has recently been elected to the Advisory Board for City Year Columbia.

As a member of City Year Columbia’s Advisory Board, Mr. Irvin will contribute to the development of strategic plans that will scale the number of young people in service in high-need urban schools with City Year, and increase their impact on student and school success. The City Year Columbia Advisory Board is a volunteer board that provides strategic direction for the organization on multiple fronts.

City Year is a national service organization founded in 1988 that unites young people of all backgrounds for a year of full-time service in high-need schools nationwide. In communities across the United States and through two international affiliates, these diverse young leaders help turn around high-need schools and keep students in school and on track to graduation by working to improve their attendance, behavior and course performance.

Mr. Irvin is also an active participant in other local nonprofit organizations. Over the past two years, Mr. Irvin has led the Firm's United Way Campaign for the Columbia Office, raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for local charities. Mr. Irvin participates in many other fundraising events for the United Way of the Midlands and has coordinated Firm activity in those events.
