Volunteer

A Bright Star Community Outreach, Inc. (BSCO) ‘volunteer’ is anyone who without compensation or expectation of compensation beyond reimbursement performs a task at the direction of and on behalf of BSCO. A ‘volunteer’ must be officially accepted and enrolled by BSCO prior to performance of the task.

Volunteers must complete the volunteer application, meet with the volunteer coordinator for an interview, and complete the orientation or training classes necessary for the position.
