STAR Institute is expanding its Board of Directors and seeking new members with diverse perspectives, voices and backgrounds to join our collaborative leadership team.

We are looking for candidates for the Board of Directors who are passionate servant leaders, advocates, and community minded individuals from diverse backgrounds to help guide STAR in our mission and strategic vision.
