Volunteer Application

Thank you for your interest in becoming a Brain Injury Network volunteer or intern.

Each year, more than 3,000 hours of volunteer service are provided to the Brain Injury network through student internship placements, board of directors and advisory board volunteer service, special events volunteers, and program volunteer service. Volunteers are essential to our mission, and to help connect individuals with acquired brain injury, we serve hope, community, and purpose.

Clubhouse Program volunteers assist our members in the Plano Clubhouse or Fort Worth Clubhouse using the Clubhouse model and work-ordered day philosophy. They work side-by-side with members in work units, including Communications, Outreach & Advocacy, and our Kitchen & Maintenance unit. Volunteers who wish to engage in direct service to our program members must complete an interview, orientation, and criminal background check. Current CPR or First Aid training is a plus. 

Volunteers in Development & Marketing support fundraising and marketing campaigns, fundraising special events, and community engagement projects. Volunteers assist with campaign and event planning, sponsorship and participant engagement and follow-up, social media, in-kind support solicitation (including auction items for the Gala), event prep, setup, staffing, teardown, and follow-up. 

Recruitment for the Brain Injury Network Board of Directors and Advisory Board is ongoing throughout the year and is led by the Board of Directors, President, and Executive Director. 

Internships are limited and semester-based. Applicants interested in internships will be contacted to discuss opportunities and processes.

Brain Injury Network Privacy, Confidentiality & Data Storage

Confidentiality is defined as "the preservation of privileged medical, financial, demographic, situational or other personal information." Respecting the privacy of our members is a basic value of the organization. Because BIND receives funding from various local and state government agencies, collecting each member's confidential information is required. This information may include but is not limited to legal name, date of birth, address and verification of residency, race and ethnicity, gender, and employment status. In most cases, BIND will not be able to provide services to members without first collecting this demographic information. Further, BIND will not be able to provide services to members without receiving documentation that the member handbook has been received and understood and the member has provided additional consent. This process, and the handbook, will be explained by BIND staff during your orientation. In most cases, member information is reported to government agencies/billing sources in a way that 'de-identifies' the individual. This means that a member's name is not provided and is instead assigned a unique 'member ID' that does not include the member's first or last name. Without expiration, all employees, volunteers, student interns, and board of director members across all locations and situations will be required to follow confidentiality policies and procedures. A member's confidential information is accessible to all BIND staff and designated volunteers. This information will always be password-protected, including data stored on cloud-based systems or 3rd party platforms. In addition, all BIND staff and volunteers will participate in regular training regarding our confidentiality policies and procedures. In a medical emergency, your private information will be provided to emergency medical technicians at their request to ensure that you receive the most appropriate care. Unless otherwise specified in BIND policies and procedures, member records will be stored by the organization for 3 years following separation.
Don't hesitate to contact us (info@thebind.org) if you have any questions about our confidentiality policies and procedures.
